Multi-agency webinar - Tackling criminal activity within the waste industry (landfill tax/landfill disposals tax)

HMRC have partnered with the Environment Agency, the Joint Unit for Waste Crime, Revenue Scotland and the Welsh Revenue Authority to present an educational webinar for businesses contracting with waste management suppliers, which highlights potential landfill tax/landfill disposals tax and penalty risks for the business itself where the waste contractor disposes of the waste illegally. The webinar will raise awareness of the increased occurrence of criminal activity in the waste sector and what that means for businesses.

The webinar aims to:

• Explain the risks within the supply chain
• Provide examples
• Set out ways to mitigate the risks through regular and robust due diligence checks
• Consider the interaction of the landfill tax regime in England and Northern Ireland, and the devolved Scottish landfill tax and the Welsh landfill disposals tax in instances of cross border illegal disposals.

It takes place at 11.45am on 25 September 2024 for an hour. The registration link is embedded here: Criminals have infiltrated the waste sector: is your business at risk? which also provides fuller details of the webinar content.
