Landfill Tax: disposals not made at landfill sites

A consultation on the secondary legislation to extend Landfill Tax to illegal waste sites and clarify the definition of ‘taxable disposal’.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail

From 1 April 2018, we are making 2 changes to the Landfill Tax regime, which will affect both permitted and non-permitted sites in England and Northern Ireland:

  • at sites with the appropriate disposal permit, all material will be within the scope of Landfill Tax unless expressly exempt

  • at sites without the appropriate disposal permit, all material will be within the scope of Landfill Tax

This is a technical consultation on the secondary legislation required to make these changes:

  • The Landfill Tax (Disposals of Material) Order 2018

  • The Landfill Tax (Amendment) Regulations 2018

  • The Aggregates Levy (General) (Amendment) Regulations 2018

For more information about these changes, see the Tax Information and Impact Note Landfill Tax: disposals not made at landfill sites.
