Taxation

Taxation in the UK has been largely limited, for a considerable time, to the Landfill Tax but over the last few years new taxes have been introduced (for example the Plastics Tax) and additional ones are starting to come into place.

WikiWaste captures other tools in this category that may not be called a tax, but are in essence a tax (a ‘push’ mechanism - for example the planned extension of the UK ETS to incineration) rather than economic incentives, which are separately listed.

Purpose

Taxation provides a tool to drive change and is implemented through legislation against which regulators enforce and collect such taxes. The intention of taxation in the UK waste sector is therefore to underpin desired change.

Approach

This category captures main taxation tools that have been used in conjunction with policy and legislation, to influence the development of the UK waste sector
