Everything you need to know about expert Land Remediation relief 


What is Land Remediation Relief?

Land Remediation Relief (LRR) is a UK tax incentive designed to support businesses that clean up contaminated land. This tax relief scheme allows businesses to claim tax deductions on the costs of removing hazardous materials or treating polluted sites. It aims to encourage the redevelopment of brownfield land and derelict land, and mitigate environmental risks by reducing the financial burden of land remediation projects, ensuring the productive use of previously uninhabitable areas.

 

Who is eligible for Land Remediation Relief?

Any business that incurs costs for cleaning up contaminated land may be eligible for LRR. This includes property developers, environmental contractors, and landowners. It applies to both private and public-sector organizations involved in land remediation, provided the activities meet the required criteria set by HMRC.

 

What qualifies as LRR activity?

Qualified land remediation activities include removing hazardous substances such as asbestos, heavy metals, or oil from contaminated land as part of the qualifying expenditure. This also includes soil treatment, groundwater cleaning, and other processes that restore land to a safe, usable condition for development or agricultural purposes.

 

Can small businesses claim Land Remediation Relief?

Yes, small businesses can claim Land Remediation Relief (LRR) if they are incurring eligible costs. The size of the business does not affect eligibility. However, small businesses must meet the same criteria as larger businesses and ensure the activities undertaken are genuine land remediation efforts.

 

How much can my business claim through Land Remediation Relief?

Businesses can claim a tax deduction of up to 150% of the qualifying expenditure incurred for land remediation activities within the relevant accounting period. This means if your business spends £100,000 on remediation, it could potentially reduce its taxable profits by £150,000, lowering its tax liability significantly.

 

What costs can be claimed under Land Remediation Relief?

Eligible costs for LRR include expenses related to removing hazardous substances (e.g., asbestos, lead), soil treatment, excavation, decontamination, and disposal of pollutants. Other costs like consultancy, survey work, and environmental assessments can also be included if they directly relate to remediation efforts.

 

Do I need to have a dedicated LRR team to claim?

No, you don’t need a dedicated team to claim Land Remediation Relief, but the process can be complex. It is helpful to have an environmental or tax professional with expertise in LRR to ensure that your claims are accurate, all eligible costs are accounted for, and necessary documentation is provided.

 

How far back can I claim Land Remediation Relief?

Land Remediation Relief claims can typically be made for work undertaken in the past two years. However, if the business has not yet claimed for remediation costs during this period, it may still be possible to make a retrospective claim. Always check with HMRC for specific timeframes.

 

What challenges might arise when applying for Land Remediation Relief?

Common challenges in claiming LRR include correctly identifying qualifying expenditure, providing detailed supporting documentation, and ensuring that the land remediation activities meet the legal requirements. Businesses may also face delays or disputes if HMRC questions the validity of the claim or the nature of the costs.

They can help identify eligible costs, ensure compliance with HMRC guidelines, and maximise tax credit.
