New Scottish Landfill Tax rates 2025/26

LBTT guidance on tax relief where at the effective date of a land transaction the seller and buyer are both companies in the same group.

The Scottish Landfill Tax (Standard Rate and Lower Rate) Order 2025 has now been approved by the Scottish Parliament and came into effect on 1 April 2025. As a result, taxable disposals made or treated as made on or after 1 April 2025 will be subject to the following rates of Scottish Landfill Tax (SLfT):

  • Standard rate: £126.15 per tonne;
  • Lower rate: £4.05 per tonne.

We have updated our guidance to reflect the changes.

Should you have any queries, please contact our SLfT team at slft@revenue.scot.
