Revenue has today reminded eligible businesses that the deadline to submit claims for Temporary Business Energy Support Scheme (TBESS) is September 30 this year.
The Temporary Business Energy Support Scheme (TBESS) provided qualifying businesses with up to 50% of the increase in electricity or gas bills up to €15,000 a month.
As of last week, 30,475 businesses had registered for TBESS and 56,126 claims have been approved. These approved claims have a value of just over €129m.
The facility to make claims in relation to energy bills from periods starting from September 2022 up to the end of July this year is available until the end of September.
Revenue said the TBESS claim portal can be accessed via the e-Repayments system in Revenue's Online Service (ROS).
Eligible businesses that have not yet registered for the TBESS, or have not yet started or fully completed the claim process for any claim periods are encouraged to do so now, given the claims deadline of the end of this month.
To make a claim via the portal, a business will need all electricity and natural gas bills for the reference period of September 1, 2021 to July 2022 and for the claim periods from September 2022 to date.
Energy bills from September 2022 will be compared with bills from the corresponding reference period (September 2021 v September 2022) to determine eligibility and amount due.
Businesses making claims will also have to provide their bank account details and will be required to make a declaration that the qualifying conditions of the scheme are satisfied.
