For customers already in receipt of the paper-free discount, it remains available per account and to customers on a Calling Plan, BT Together Local and BT Working Together. It is not available on BT Mobile or BT Fusion accounts. The discount is only applied on accounts where the customer has a total rental charge greater than or equal to £13.90 inc VAT (£11.58 exc VAT) per month, before any other discounts are applied e.g. special offers. One-off charges such as usage charges, brought forward amounts, payment processing fees and any other non rental charges do not count as rental charges.
