Environmental Bodies (EBs) failing to meet their obligations
EBs are required to submit information to ENTRUST accurately and in a timely manner. One of ENTRUST‘s main responsibilities is to check that EBs comply with the Landfill Tax regulations. Public confidence in the Landfill Communities Fund depends on Landfill Tax money being used for legitimate purposes by legitimate organisations. ENTRUST monitors EBs by:
• Enrolling organisations as approved EBs through a rigorous enrolment process;
• Reviewing project information through the project registration process;
• Requiring EBs to submit information at regular intervals;
• Periodically visiting EBs to inspect and verify their records;
The EB Manual details these obligations and is downloadable from the Library section.
Where EBs fail to meet their regulatory obligations either by filing information inaccurately, and/or it is late or if there are other issues relating to the EBs management or operation, ENTRUST will publish the details of these, and also outline the reasons for this through a written report.
This will only take place where ENTRUST has notified the EBs of its failures, and in the first instance tried to assist them, but then where the EBs persist or fail to meet the notification issued to them, ENTRUST will then publish their names here.
