Apply for a scrap metal licence Change a scrap metal licence
HM Revenue and Customs
On 4 April 2022, the rules changed if you’re applying for a licence for a:
- scrap metal site
- scrap metal collector.
If you’re an individual, company or any type of partnership you must complete a tax check if you’re:
- renewing a licence
- applying for the same type of licence you previously held, that ceased to be valid less than a year ago
- applying for the same type of licence you already hold with another licensing authority.
You will not need to complete a tax check and you should follow the confirm your tax responsibilities guidance if you have:
- never held a licence of the same type before
- had a licence of the same type that ceased to be valid a year or more before making this application.
You will need to provide Telford & Wrekin Council with your Tax Check Code when renewing your licence. The Licensing Service must then use your tax check code to confirm that the tax check has taken place before they can grant or refuse your application.
Visit the GOV.UK website to complete a tax check for a taxi, private hire or scrap metal licence.
