Caroline Munro on Modernising Tax Policy
Waste management in the UK has evolved rapidly over the last decade and nowhere is that more visible than in the construction sector. On sites across the country, materials are being sorted at source, recycling rates are increasing, and technology is streamlining compliance and reporting.
Yet, while the industry has moved forward, waste tax policy has struggled to keep pace. If the system is going to genuinely support environmental goals, reduce waste crime, and make room for innovation, it needs to be modernised to reflect today’s realities and be adaptable enough for tomorrow’s challenges.
