Reform of the TGAP on landfilling and thermal treatment of waste
Article 52 of the 2016 amending finance act overhauls the general tax on polluting activities (TGAP) owed by operators of landfill and thermal waste treatment facilities: redefined scope (non-hazardous and hazardous waste facilities, transfers to another State), new annual rate tables from 2017 to 2025 depending on facility performance (certification, biogas recovery, bioreactor), and a requirement to pass the tax on. Parts A, B, C and E of section I apply from 1 January 2017, part D from 1 January 2019. This trajectory was overhauled by the 2019 finance act.
