In April 2022, Law 7\/2022, of April 8, on waste and contaminated soils for a circular economy<\/b>, was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE). It introduces fiscal measures with the ultimate goal of encouraging the circular economy, including the creation of a new excise tax on non-reusable plastic packaging<\/b>, <\/p>\n

The new regulation came into force on January 1<\/b> and is presented as an indirect tax on the use of non-reusable packaging containing plastic, whether it is empty, or whether it is presented containing, protecting, handling, distributing and presenting goods.<\/p>\n

It also establishes that its purpose is to promote the prevention of the generation of non-reusable plastic packaging waste<\/b>, as well as to promote the recycling<\/b> of plastic waste, contributing to the circularity of this matter.<\/p>\n

The new tax affects the entire industry with a tax rate of 0.45 euros for each kilogram of this material that it manufactures or acquires<\/b>. But it also affects almost any company that uses this type of packaging for its products and, in addition, consumers, since this extra cost could be passed on in the price of their products.<\/p>\n

Companies that fail to comply with the plastic tax face financial penalties. Those that have not registered will be penalized with a fine of 1,000 euros and those that have declared an incorrect quantity of taxable packaging with 75% of the quantity produced (100% in the case of repeat offenses) + 1,000 euros.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The new plastic tax affects companies that manufacture, import or make acquisitions within the European Union of non-reusable plastic packaging whose final destination is the Spanish market.<\/p>\n
