HC Deb 25 November 1996 vol 286 cc75-6W
Mr. Luff

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what he estimates will be the average revenue from the landfill tax(a) nationally and (b) in relation to the Hill and Moor landfill site, Worcesteshire. [5366]

Mr. Oppenheim

[holding answer 21 November 1996]In the 1995 Budget, the net revenue yield from the landfill tax was estimated to be £110 million in 1996–97 and £450 million in a full year. The landfill tax is levied at a rate of £7 per tonne for active waste and £2 per tonne for non-active waste. The annual revenue from any particular site will depend on the size and scope of its operations.
