Consultation on Revenue Scotland guidance on treatment of waste fines
This consultation ran from 27 June 2016 to 29 July 2016 and is now closed.
The Scottish Landfill Tax (Qualifying Material) Order 2016 comes into force on 1 October 2016. The legislation sets out the conditions that must be met for waste fines to be treated as qualifying material chargeable at the lower rate of SLfT. The conditions include the requirement that a Loss On Ignition (LoI) test has been conducted on the fines prior to their disposal to landfill..
The consultation paper sought views from stakeholders involved in the landfill industry on an amended version of Revenue Scotland’s Scottish Landfill Tax (‘SLfT”) guidance on how to determine the tax rate chargeable on waste fines which takes account of the new Qualifying Material Order. This guidance has now been finalised and published and it will replace the current guidance for waste fines contained within SLfT2006 with effect from 1 October 2016.
