Plastic Packaging Tax
On April 1st, 2022, the government introduced the Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT), a new tax on plastic packaging.
The goal of the tax is to encourage the use of recycled materials in plastic packaging, rather than virgin materials, to boost the collection and recycling of plastic waste in the UK.
Any plastic packaging items manufactured or imported into the UK containing less than 30% recycled plastic will be subject to the tax and charged by HMRC at a varying rate.
