HM Treasury consults on reforming Land Remediation Relief The government is consulting on potential reforms to make Land Remediation Relief more accessible, better targeted, and more closely aligned with the practical realities of brownfield development. Land Remediation Relief is a 150% Corporation Tax relief aimed at incentivising the regeneration of brownfield land and reducing the pressure to develop greenfield sites.
