Following the recent announcement of charges for some exemptions, news reaches us today of a new raft of charges for exemptions, including the much exploited T8
With funding starting to come in from the T8 exemption, perhaps the Environment Agency will finally be able to act of monitoring T8 Exempt sites.
Most businesses must pay registration and compliance fees for waste exemptions. Charities and those registering a T28 exemption are exempt from charges. Farmers receive capped fees for certain farm-related exemptions; see Annex B: Farming exemptions for details.
You will pay £56 registration charge each time you register one or more exemptions on a site. This charge covers the Environment Agency’s costs for registering exemptions.
You pay a compliance charge for each exemption. The cost of the compliance charge depends on which band the exemption is in. The Upper Band, which includes the T8 stands at  – £1,236 (this band applies to T8, T9 and U16 exemptions only)
The compliance charge covers the Environment Agency’s costs for checking that exemption conditions are followed.
With the introduction of fees for the T8 exemption, one might potulate that there has been a change in thinking on the removal of the T8 – time will tell.
