November Roundtable - Community Infrastructure Levy & Land Remediation Tax Relief

E³ Consulting was pleased to host our Property Taxation roundtable and lunch; exploring opportunities for developers and investors around their Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) liabilities and/or cleaning up contaminated or long-term derelict sites through Land Remediation Tax Relief.

Tea and coffee was served with an opportunity for networking before we discussed from our own experience, with case studies, the pinch points and processes that provide a wealth of opportunities to reduce your liability to CIL payments and recover some of the cost of brownfield site regeneration. We also covered the Mini Budget.

Following the presentations and questions, guests joined us for a two-course lunch.

Date: Tuesday 08 November 2022 Time: 10.30am to 2.00pm

Location: Dudsbury Golf Club, Hotel & Spa, 64 Christchurch Rd, Bournemouth, BH22 SST

E³ Consulting Managing Director, Alun Oliver and Property Tax Surveyor, Todd Arnison discussed the opportunities arising from property tax.

Following on from the Chancellor's 'Mini Budget' on Friday 23 September 2022, we discussed the impacts that the fiscal incentive announcements - that had survived the many U-turns already seen - will have for property investors. As well as commenting on further Budget announcements.

Despite being available since 2001, Land Remediation Tax Relief is still poorly understood and unknown by many; but can provide significant contributions to the redevelopment of contaminated and long-term derelict sites.

We regularly see Local Planning Authorities issuing CIL liabilities to developers and investors that are accepted and paid without scrutiny or challenge. It is important to ensure that the numbers have been correctly calculated in accordance with the regulations, as we consistently find opportunities to reduce CIL risk and costs.

Using our own project experience, we discussed where we believe the key areas are to manage your risk, avoid pitfalls and benefit from optimised savings; increasing the viability of brownfield site regeneration projects as well as managing and/or mitigating CIL liabilities arising from new development.
