Your Path to Profit
Why Claim Land Remediation Relief?
Land Remediation Relief is available to property investors, developers, and businesses paying corporation tax. Profit-making companies enjoy substantial tax relief, while loss-making businesses have flexible options either tax credits or carrying losses forward.
Claims up to 150%: LRR provides up to a 150% deduction for the qualifying land remediation activities, reducing your taxable profits. You can elect within 2 years of incurring the expense to receive a 100% deduction for qualifying costs and then claim an additional 50% relief. No election is required for revenue expenditure as it is deducted as a business expense in the profit and loss account.
Tax Credit: A company with land remediation losses has two options:
- Surrender the losses to HMRC in exchange for a Land Remediation Tax Credit (16% of the surrendered loss, equating to a 24% cash return on qualifying costs)
- Alternatively, the losses can be carried forward to offset future profits from the same source in later accounting periods.

Understanding the Qualifying Cost & Specific Exclusions
Not all expenses related to land remediation are eligible for tax relief under LRR. Qualifying costs for LRR refer to the company's direct expenses when cleaning up contaminated or derelict land to make the land usable, while HMRC has also set out a specific exclusion list. By knowing the difference, you can ensure that your claim is accurate and compliant with HMRC's regulations.
Qualifying Expenditure
- Cleaning up contaminated land costs
- Removal of hazardous substances (e.g., asbestos)
- Disposal of contaminated waste
- Costs for surveying and environmental assessments
- Bringing land back into a usable condition
Non-Qualifying Expenditure
- Costs due to the company's actions causing contamination
- Remediation of land contaminated by a tenant's activities
- Expenditure on cleaning up nuclear sites
- Arrangements are made to create or enhance a claim for LRR artificially
- Ongoing operational costs (not directly related)
