Landfill Allowance Trading Scheme (LATS) The government's key measure to meet the demands of the European Landfill Directive in England, and began on April 1, 2005. The LATS system works by local authorities being set allowances on the amount of biodegradable material they can send to landfill. In two-tier areas, this refers to waste disposal authorities. These allowances are tradable, so that high landfilling authorities can buy more allowances if they expect to landfill more than the allowances they hold. Similarly, authorities with low landfill rates can sell their surplus allowances. Landfill Sites are where local authorities and industry can take waste to be buried. The Environment Agency licenses and regulates landfill sites to ensure that their impact on the environment is minimised. Landfill sites are often located in disused quarries or mines. In areas where there are limited, or no ready-made voids, the practice of landraising is sometimes carried out, where some or all of the waste is deposited above ground, and the landscape is contoured. Designated landfill sites are managed to receive waste for final underground disposal under the provisions of the Waste Management Licensing Regulations 1996 as amended. Landfill Tax is a tax that must be paid by all landfill site operators per tonne of waste landfilled. Until the 2007 Budget, the landfill tax increased annually by £3 per year, per tonne, on the way to a long-term rate of £35 per tonne. In the April 2007 Budget Report, the Chancellor announced that from April 2007, the standard rate of landfill tax will be increased from £21 per tonne to £24 per tonne and then from April 2008 onwards it will increase annually by £8 per tonne until at least 1 April 2010.
