The specified date in this Bill, as referred to under section 2, provides for when the temporary solidarity contribution is to be payable by an energy company and section 8, which provides for when an energy company must make a return to the Revenue Commissioners. Those five purposes are financial support measures to mitigate the effects of high energy prices for final energy customers, help reduce energy consumption, support companies in energy-intensive industries, develop the energy autonomy or assign a share of the proceeds of the temporary solidarity contribution to the common financing of measures to reduce the harmful effects of the energy crisis.
Amendment No. 12 states that if a return is delivered between zero and two months from the specified date, companies will pay a surcharge at a rate of 5%.
