landfill Tax Increases
We cut this straight from the Government’s Web Site
Legislation will be introduced in Finance Bill 2016 to amend section 42(1)(a) and 42(2) to provide for the new rates of Landfill Tax. The rates being amended and the new rates will be:
| Waste sent to landfill | Rate from 1 April 2016 | Rate from 1 April 2017 | Rate from 1 April 2018 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard rated | £84.40/tonne | £86.10/tonne | £88.95/tonne |
| Lower rated | £2.65/tonne | £2.70/tonne | £2.80/tonne |
At SDR we hope this provides more incentive for companies to contact us to recycle their old electronic equipment, rather than send their old products to landfill.
On the face of it the changes don’t look significant, but when you look at the 1,000,000’s of tons of waste dumped in landfill it is a serious number.
SDR is committed to our zero to landfill policy!
