sub-paragraph (1) only exempts the relevant fraction of the supply.

(3)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2), the “relevant fraction” of a supply of a taxable commodity that is to be used in a combined heat and power station is the fraction—

(a)whose numerator is the efficiency percentage for the station at the time the supply is made, and

(b)whose denominator is the threshold efficiency percentage for the station at that time.

(4)For the purposes of this paragraph—

(a)the “threshold efficiency percentage" for a combined heat and power station is the percentage set as the threshold efficiency percentage for the station by regulations made by the Treasury;

[F3(b)the “efficiency percentage” for a combined heat and power station shall be determined in accordance with regulations under paragraph 149.]

[F4(4A)Paragraph 24B makes provision under which carbon price support rate commodities intended to be used in a combined heat and power station may be the subject of a deemed taxable supply (and, accordingly, this paragraph needs to be read subject to that paragraph).]
