Landfill Tax

The recent Budget included a promise to raise landfill tax by £8 a tonne per year from 1 April 2008 until at least 2010-11. This replaces a policy of a £3 per tonne annual increase and ends a commitment to limit the rate at £35 a tonne. The £24 a tonne rate from April 2007 will double to £48 by 2010, encouraging investment in alternatives to landfill. The lower tax rate for inert waste will increase from £2 to £2.50 per tonne from 1 April 2008.
