HPP successfully assisted a large Finnish company in a tax dispute concerning its liability for payment of a waste tax in the amount of EUR 1.1 million. The case concerned the interpretation of the provisions of an environmental permit granted to the company and whether its use of waste in structural components of a landfill should be tax-free. HPP succeeded in convincing the Board of Adjustment that the activity should be deemed to be tax-free.
The successful resolution of the tax dispute required close cooperation between HPP’s environmental and tax teams and demonstrates HPP’s ability to provide multidisciplinary teams leveraging our market-leading tax and environmental law expertise in the area of circular economy.
