HMRC landfill tax returns do not require taxpayers to specify which relief applies to material that is not subject to tax. It is therefore not possible to establish how many taxpayers benefitted from a particular exemption. HMRC does not require this level of detail because it would place a disproportionate administrative burden on business.
