Business Gas Tariffs
When you compare business gas tariffs, you will have a range of options to choose from. Selecting the right tariff for your business can be tricky depending on your needs. Here, we've broken down some of the most common business gas tariffs to help you find the right deal for you and switch smart.
What Is Business Gas Price Comparison?
Business gas price comparison is a great way to save money on monthly gas bills. You simply need to know what you are currently paying, what you would like to pay, and how your business uses gas at your premises.
How Are Business Gas Prices Calculated?
Understanding Your Business Gas Bill
Looking over your business gas bill can raise several questions and one of the most common ones we come across is ‘How is the cost of business gas calculated?’
Two costs require attention when reviewing your business gas, and this makes up most of the cost of a business gas quote.
- Unit rate - this is your business gas charge. This is displayed in pence per kWh of gas used. For example, if your agreed fixed unit rate is 8.2p per kWh and you use 15,000 kWh of gas annually; you can calculate your annual business gas cost by multiplying 0.082 by 15,000 (£1,230). You will need to add additional costs to this figure. Sometimes you can be charged different unit rates depending on the time of day if you have a gas meter that allows this.
- Standing charge - a daily fee paid to your business gas supplier for the management costs of delivering the fuel to your premises. Initially, this may seem like a high number, but the costs remain unchanged regardless of how much gas you use. For example, with a standing charge of 30.2p per day, you’ll be paying £116.80 annually.
- VAT- a flat % standard rate of 20% will be applied to your business gas bill. Discounts are available for charities and non-profits who may be eligible to pay only 5%.
Business Gas Comparison For Large Consumption
Large businesses are generally those that use over 100,000 kWh of commercial gas every year. Due to this high consumption, businesses can benefit from bespoke prices as a result of bulk-buying wholesale gas.
With this in mind, comparing prices is a great idea as you can maximise your gas bill’s savings by comparing the large business gas market, and locking in the best deal.

Business Gas Prices for Small Businesses
What is considered a small business by many is viewed differently by gas suppliers. Micro business gas usage is seen as similar to the domestic market so prices are often in line with domestic costs.
According to Ofgem, a non-domestic consumer is defined as a micro business if it meets one of the following criteria:
- Employs fewer than 10 employees (or their full-time equivalent) and has an annual turnover or balance sheet no greater than €2 million (£1.7 million as of 2025, or
- Uses no more than 100,000 kWh of electricity per year, or
- Uses no more than 293,000 kWh of gas per year.
The main benefit of being defined as a micro-business rather than a small business is that you can give a termination notice at any time. Your supplier is also required to provide a renewal letter with details on how your new price differs from your previous deal.

Business Gas FAQs
-
Should I Get A Cheaper Unit Rate or Standing Charge?
Business gas prices are made up of two things. The unit price and standing charge. It’s important to understand the difference when you are going through your business gas comparison.
Unit Price: This is how much you pay for the gas you use. It is charged in terms of pence per kWh. It is a variable charge, so the more you use, the more you pay.
Standing Charge: The standing charge is a fixed cost. Normally it’s charged as a fixed price per day (although sometimes per month or quarter).
The difference with the unit price is that you pay the same amount regardless of how much or little gas you use. And unlike unit prices, standing charges vary widely from supplier to supplier sometimes as low as 30p per day all the way up to £85+ per day.
Generally speaking, most price comparisons should focus on the unit price rather than the standing charge as this will determine the bulk of what you’ll pay. However, if you do see an abnormally low unit rate it’s worth your while to double-check the standing charge.

What Is An MPRN Number?
An MPRN number is unique to your gas meter. This helps locate and differentiate your gas meter from others. MPRN is short for Meter Point Reference Number.
-
How Much VAT Will I Pay On My Business Gas?

-
What Makes Up Your Business Gas Bill?
While the wholesale price of gas makes up the bulk of what your business will pay.
There are a few other costs to be aware of:
- Most businesses will pay the standard VAT rate of 20% for their commercial gas. However, if at least 60% of your business’ gas is used for domestic purposes, you are a charity or non-profit, and/or you use less than 145 kWh of gas per day (4,500 kWh per month) you may be able to pay only 5%.
- CCL: From 1 April 2019 the Climate Change Levy is 0.339 p/kWh for gas.
- Local Distribution Zone (LDZ) charges: Levied by Gas Distribution Network (GDN) operators in order to recover their regulated allowed revenue as determined through the RIIO-GD1 network price control.

When Is The Right Time To Change Business Gas Suppliers?
The window of time to compare and switch business gas contracts opens in the final 12 months of your current contract. This is known as the renewal window. Any earlier than this and you can incur exit fees.
For this reason, it’s very important to know your contract end date. You’ll find this information in your contract details. If you can’t find this, then contact your energy supplier to enquire when this date is.
When you are in the renewal window, you can shop around for commercial gas prices, and if you find any worth switching to, you can lock these prices in early. When your existing contract ends, your new contract kicks in, and the money-saving begins with it.
If energy prices are in the news for all the wrong reasons, and you expect prices to rise in the next 6 to 12 months, then it’s also time to compare.
Moreover, if you’ve not switched to a new business gas contract in many years, then you could be missing out on significant savings and it’s worth comparing.
Once that’s all done, switching gas suppliers takes 5 working days.
-
How Do I Find Out When My Contract Ends?
Your contract end date is published in the contract you signed with your business gas supplier - check your documents and you should find it.
Alternatively, get in touch with your supplier to enquire when your contract end date is.
If you are a micro-business, then your energy supplier must send you a renewal letter three months before your contract ends. So if you are a micro business, you can always wait for this letter and use it as a signal to start comparing business gas prices.

I'm Moving Premises - Should I Switch Suppliers?
If you’re moving out of an existing premises or moving into a new premises, there are steps you must take.
Moving out: Close down your energy account when you’re moving out. This will ensure you are not paying the bill when a new tenant moves in.
Moving into new premises: have a business gas contract arranged with a supplier before you move in. This will safeguard you from being placed on an expensive deemed tariff.
