British Gas boss banks £56MILLION tax rebate as Brits struggle in cost of living crisis

British Gas owner Centrica banked a £56million tax rebate on its North Sea operations last year.

The industry giant was able to use losses in the previous few years in its UK drilling arm to offset what it made in the division in 2021.

But the analysis by climate group Uplift found that, in the same period, Centrica paid Norway £35million in tax.
