The scope of costs allowed is generous and competitive.<\/p>\n<p>You must be registered as a limited company in the UK and be the owner of the land or building at the time of the remediation work. In addition, the land or building must be owned either as a freehold or leasehold with at least a seven-year term.<\/p>\n<p>Common examples of qualifying contamination and remedial measures include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Asbestos;<\/li>\n<li>Sulphate contamination in soil and concrete;<\/li>\n<li>Hydrocarbon contamination;<\/li>\n<li>Pollution from previous industrial activity;<\/li>\n<li>Ground\/landfill gases;<\/li>\n<li>Japanese Knotweed;<\/li>\n<li>Arsenic;<\/li>\n<li>Removal of redundant utility services and concrete foundations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Qualifying costs can include surveys, excavations, soil\/groundwater treatments, staff costs, required materials and subcontractor costs. Claims can be made for categories of derelict land. This can be advised with relevance to time periods when land could be considered for dereliction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the benefit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You could be eligible to claim relief up to 150% of your company\u2019s land or property clearance costs. This would be returned to you in the form of Corporation Tax Relief, or as a payable tax credit in loss-making situations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I find out if it\u2019s applicable to me?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the industry you operate within, if you\u2019ve acquired land or buildings in a contaminated or derelict state for intended commercial use, you could claim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call or email to book your free consultation on 01926 512475 or <\/strong><a href=\"mailto:charlotte@mcs-corporate.com\"><strong>charlotte@mcs-corporate.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Visit our website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcs-corporate.com\">www.mcs-corporate.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11191\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/designbuybuild.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MCS-logo.jpg?resize=300%2C140&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/designbuybuild.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MCS-logo.jpg?resize=300%2C140&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/designbuybuild.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MCS-logo.jpg?resize=1024%2C477&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/designbuybuild.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MCS-logo.jpg?resize=768%2C358&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/designbuybuild.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MCS-logo.jpg?resize=400%2C186&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/designbuybuild.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MCS-logo.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Land Remediation is a tax relief available to property investors who are undertaking remediation of contaminated land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":11191,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 -
