The Plastic Packaging Tax is coming: Are you ready?

From April 2022, HMRC is introducing a new tax on plastic packaging. An estimated 20,000 businesses will be liable for the tax. The costs of not complying will be far greater than the costs of the tax on your plastic packaging. Take action now to ensure your business is prepared.

What will the Plastic Tax cost my business?

The government has set a rate of £200 per tonne on plastic packaging placed onto the UK market that has less than 30% recycled plastic content. This rate will be subject to review to ensure that the tax remains effective in increasing the use of recycled plastic.

The costs to each business will vary. We can provide an impact assessment of the Plastic Packaging Tax on those businesses affected which will help you prepare for the changes ahead.
