Contaminated land - landfill tax exemptions

Waste removed from contaminated land and deposited to landfill is eligible for exemption from landfill tax provided prior certification is received from HMRC. The Chancellor has announced that this relief will be phased out. Applications for new landfill tax exemption certificates must be received by HMRC before 1 December 2008.

Businesses with valid certificates can continue to benefit from the exemption for waste deposited before 1 April 2012. From this date, waste from contaminated land will be liable to landfill tax at the normal rate.
