| Landfill Taxes Rise
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced that the standard rate of landfill tax will rise by £3.00 per tonne to £24.00 per tonne effective from 1st April 2007, and took powers to effect the increase in the rate under The Provisional Collection Of Taxes Act 1968. This will result in another large increase in disposal costs that must be passed on to all producers of waste.
Other legislative factors, along with the reduction in overall landfill void space available in the UK, are also continuing to have a significant impact on the base cost of landfill disposal.
General operating costs, particularly energy and fuel, continue to rise and whilst we try to absorb these costs wherever possible, often the extent of the increases mean that we have no alternative to pass such increases on to our customers.
As a result of the above factors disposal prices at Nottingham Transfer Station will increase from 1st April 2007 by the following amounts:-
Haulage will increase to £10.50
All prices are exclusive of VAT.
