Environmental Bodies
Environmental Bodies (EBs) are non-profit organisations registered to receive Landfill Communities Fund (LCF) money. To be eligible, the organisation must align with LCF goals and fulfil the following criteria:
-
Be not-for-profit
-
Not be controlled by a Landfill Operator (LO) or local authority
-
Align with LCF's aims and objectives
-
Operate in England or Northern Ireland
EBs can be non-charitable but must use any surplus funds for their objectives, not as dividends. LCF funds are for projects in England and Northern Ireland only.
To register as an EB:
-
Use ENTRUST Online (EOL) to submit an application
-
Provide a copy of your governing document
-
Pay a £100 non-refundable application fee, covering enrolment costs
-
Before applying, consult with your funder, as some can register your project. Compliance with The Landfill Tax Regulations 1996 is mandatory.
EBs must follow The Landfill Tax Regulations 1996 (Regulations), with resources like guidance manuals and training modules available for compliance. For more enrolment details, resources, and assistance, visit our website or contact our helpline.
