    You need to look at the complete bill, not just at one page.

    Many suppliers deduct the £67 from the usage. It is very likely that you used the charges listed plus £67, and the billed amount was reduce by the £67 before it was listed. Have a look at the sub totals and add them up, they should be higher than the total.

    Charges in detail 6th Feb - 1st March

    Electricity

    Standing charge 28 days at 46.82p per day£13.11
    Energy use charge 225.22 kWh at 32.34p£72.84

    Gas

    Standing charge 28 days at 27.12p per day£7.59
    Energy use charge 579.43 kWh at 9.89p£57.31

    Credits, discounts and VAT
    VAT 5% of £150.85£7.54
    Energy Bill Support Scheme -£67.00
    Total Charges £91.39 out


    Think I got it now If I add up £ 13.11 + £72.84 + £7.59 + £57.31 + £7.54  =   £158.39 total cost for using gas /electric + vat     - £67 refund = £91.39 out

    Thank you to all that helped  why can't they show £67 added to account from government in easy to understand way


  • Because everyone was required to undertake massive system changes at the drop of a hat. It ain't pretty, but it works.

    You have the support you're meant to have. That's good enough.
