Treasury proposes landfill tax changes

摘要

The Government has used the Budget to set out its policies for landfill tax and to propose options for defining what is a taxable disposal at a landfill and what wastes should qualify for the lower rate of tax.rnThe Budget report announced a continued increase in the standard rate of landfill tax by £8/t on 1 April each year from 2011 to 2013, although no announcement was made about what happens thereafter. "Landfill tax remains a cornerstone of waste management policy in the UK," it says.
