    AT A GLANCE

    Transforming contaminated or derelict land into a valuable asset can seem like an uphill battle. However, with the UK’s Land Remediation Relief, turning these challenging projects into profitable ventures is easier than you might think. This powerful tax incentive lightens the financial load for businesses committed to environmental sustainability and urban renewal.

    How Tax Natives works.

    Tax Natives is an international tax network that connects Explorers (taxpayer clients) with Natives (qualified and regulated tax advisers) from one jurisdiction to another.

    LLR & Contaminated Land Tax Relief FAQs

    Who Can Benefit from Land Remediation Relief?

    If you’re a commercial property owner, investor, or developer dealing with land that’s seen better days, LRR might be just what you need. Whether it’s land tainted by harmful substances or a derelict site begging for a new lease on life, LRR supports a broad range of revitalisation efforts.

    What Costs Are Covered with LRR?

    LRR covers a variety of costs directly linked to making your land safe and usable again, including:

    • Extracting contaminated soil and water
    • Eradicating harmful organisms and natural contaminants like radon
    • Clearing invasive species, including the notorious Japanese Knotweed
    • Addressing structural issues to ensure safety

    What do I need to consider regarding LRR?

    There are some important things to consider before taking advantage of LRR:

    • Your project must be based in the UK, with the land purchased for business or trading activities.
    • Only extraordinary expenses—those you wouldn’t encounter with uncontaminated land—are eligible for coverage.
    • Costs already covered by subsidies or incurred by companies accountable for the contamination won’t qualify for relief.

    How does Land Remediation Relief work?

    Eligible expenses allow for a 100% deduction plus an extra 50%, reducing your taxable profits by 150% of the cost. For companies in the red, you can convert losses into a tax credit, injecting cash into your business. Remember, though, you’ve got two to three years to claim after the expenditure occurs.

    Ready to revitalise your land with LRR?

    Understanding the ins and outs of LRR can be tricky, but you can navigate these waters with others. Tax Natives is here to connect you with tax experts who specialise in turning problematic plots into prosperous projects. With our network of professionals, we’ll help you analyse your project’s eligibility, optimise your claim, and turn your vision for revitalisation into reality.
