Tax Incentives.

 

During the 2008 budget, the government indicated its intention to phase out landfill tax exemption for waste on contaminated land and to focus on in-situ and on site treatments:

 

5.40 The Government is introducing measures to reform the tax incentives for developing

brownfield land to make them more environmentally sustainable. The landfill tax exemption for waste from contaminated land will be phased out by 1 April 2012. The Government will recycle the additional revenue to extend land remediation relief to expenditure on derelict land and to the removal of Japanese knotweed by treatment from 1 April 2009.

 

A.83 A measure will be introduced to extend land remediation relief to long-term derelict

land and to the removal of Japanese knotweed excluding removal to landfill. These reforms will take effect from 1 April 2009.
