BAA Wins Aggregates Levy Case

The British Aggregates Association has won its latest legal battle against the Aggregates Levy and been awarded costs. BAA lawyers Herbert Smith are presently studying the judgment and its implications in fine detail. Due to the complicated nature of the Levy and tax law, it will be a few days before a clearer picture emerges. Quarry operators who are concerned about how the judgment might affect them are advised to contact their trade association for more advice.

BAA Director Robert Durward, "This judgment is a major boost to our campaign. There is still work to be done but at least we are now heading down the home straight."
