Aggregates levy

The rate of aggregate levy will be increased by just over 20% from £1.60 to £1.95 per tonne, except for registered operators in Northern Ireland who will continue to pay only 20% of the full rate. The rate change will take effect on 1 April 2008 for commercially exploited aggregate.
 

Our view
This quite substantial rise in aggregates levy is a surprising development as the Chancellor has not previously increased this tax since its inception
