Overview of land remediation relief

Companies that acquire contaminated or derelict land for the purposes of their trade or UK property business can claim an enhanced deduction of 150% for clean-up costs. The relief is not available to individuals or partnerships. However, a company that is a member of a partnership can claim relief for its share of the partnership’s qualifying land remediation expenditure.

By election, relief can be claimed by a company for capital expenditure incurred on remediation of land acquired for use in its trade or for its UK property business to be given as a 150% revenue deduction in computing the profits of that trade or business, although not for expenditure that qualifies for capital allowances.

Where the enhanced deduction results in a loss then the loss can be used in the normal way or it can be surrendered in return for a cash payment.

Further details of land remediation relief can be found in CIRD60000.
