Before you start: 4 quick checks
Off-street parking
A dedicated off-road space (drive, car park or private bay) that belongs to the property. On-street parking doesn't qualify.
Access to your fuse board and meter
We need to see your consumer unit (fuse board) and electricity meter / main fuse, so you'll need to get to the meter cabinet.
You run it as a business
You'll need ONE of: a Companies House number, a VAT number, or a business rates (non-domestic rates) bill.
Ownership and no previous grant
You own it, or have the landlord's permission, and no grant has already been claimed for a chargepoint at this address.
The proof you need: just one of these
Companies House number
For limited companies.
VAT registration number
If you're VAT registered.
Business rates bill
Most holiday lets use this.
Most holiday let owners use their business rates bill
- Business rates are the non-domestic rates your let pays the council instead of normal council tax. The grant needs proof you're on business rates, not council tax.
- In Cornwall, log in to your Cornwall Council business rates account and download a bill or statement showing the property is registered for non-domestic rates. Sign up to view your business rates online
- Not registered yet? Register for business rates with Cornwall Council or call 0300 1234 171.
In England, a holiday let is normally rated for business rates if it's available to let for 140+ days a year and actually let for 70+ days. If you're still on council tax, message us and we'll talk it through.
