PLASTIC TAX IN AUSTRIA AND CONSEQUENCES FOR ONLINE RETAILERS AND MARKETPLACES

PLASTIC TAX IN AUSTRIA AND CONSEQUENCES FOR ONLINE RETAILERS AND MARKETPLACES Steuerberater & Wirtschaftstreuhänder

 

In Austria there is no plastic tax yet (July 2022), but each retailer who is selling products which are packed to private customers has to have an agreement with a waste collection and recycling organization. We would be pleased to support you by finding the most adequate solution for you.

Starting 1st Jan 2023 all retailers who are non-resident in Austria have to nominate an Austrian agent who is liable that non-resident retailer fulfills its obligations regarding collection and recycling of packaging. Besides also starting 1st Jan 2023 (in Germany: starting 1st July 2022) online portals have to make sure that each of their retailers meet the packaging obligations of all countries they are going to sell to otherwise retailer has to be excluded from the portal.

We would be pleased to act as your Austrian agent for fulfilling collection and recycling of your packaging. Together with our partner, the European Recycling Platform (ERP) Austria GmbH we are in addition able to provide you with an agreement according to Packaging Directive and Waste Act.
