Plastic Packaging Tax 2022
The tax will come into force on the 1st April 2022
The tax will come into force on the 1st April and will be charged at a rate of £200 per tonne.
You need to register for the Plastic Packaging Tax if you’ve manufactured or imported 10 or more tonnes of finished plastic packaging components within the last 12 months or will do so in the next 30 days. From 1 April 2022 to 30 March 2023, the 12 months threshold will be worked out differently.
Plastic Packaging Tax only applies to manufacturers and importers of plastic packaging components which contain less than 30% recycled plastic.
Packaging should only contain recycled plastic where it is permitted under other regulations and food safety standards.
There is more detailed guidance below on the .gov website.
