Abstract

The landfill tax is aimed at: 1 Ensuring that landfill waste disposal is properly priced so as to reflect its environmental cost. 2 Promoting a more suitable approach to waste management in which less waste is produced and more is recovered or recycled. This research study sought to establish: The marginal changes in the behaviour of players involved in brownfield reclamation that could be attributed to the tax; the impact of the current tax exemption for contaminated land; any wider, more indirect, effects of the tax on property markets.
