159: Purpose of levies

You could also call this:

“Explaining why special fees are collected from companies that sell electricity and gas”

The law has been changed to include gas retailers in a certain section. This section is about the purpose of levies. Levies are like special fees that the government collects for specific reasons. Before this change, the law only mentioned electricity retailers. Now, it includes gas retailers too. A gas retailer is a company that sells gas to customers. This change means that gas retailers might have to pay these special fees, just like electricity retailers do. The law defines what a gas retailer is in another part of the rules called the Gas Act 1992.
