UK,Boiler Manufacturers,Boiler Tax

Three of the 'big four' boiler manufacturers in the UK are unable to guarantee refunds for the 'boiler tax' that was added to new boilers earlier this year. The tax was implemented to cover anticipated penalties for a green scheme, which has now been delayed. Manufacturers were required to ensure a certain percentage of their sales were heat pumps instead of gas boilers, or face fines. The move was aimed at boosting energy security and reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

Three of the 'big four' boiler manufacturers for the UK cannot guarantee customers will be refunded the so-called 'boiler tax' that companies added to new boilers earlier this year. In January boiler-makers hiked costs by up to an extra £120 per boiler to cover anticipated penalties for a green scheme - which has now been delayed.

, this week told Sky News they were refunding the 'boiler tax' cash to the distributors and retailers to whom they had sold boilers. But they said it was those companies' responsibility to return the money to households, because manufacturers tend not to have a direct relationship with consumers themselves. No one from Ideal Heating was available to comment or confirm its plans.

said its consumers will receive a refund because it is returning 'any funds already collected to our merchant distributors, who then supply products to a 35,000-strong installer community, who then sell onto consumers'. 'We are part way through completing that process, although we stopped adding the surcharge from Monday 18 March. 'In the small number of cases where we sell direct to consumers through warranty relationships, we will be refunding the surcharge to them directly.
