HMRC have introduced a new Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) which will apply to plastic packaging manufactured in, or imported into the UK, that does not contain at least 30% recycled plastic.
The tax will not apply to any plastic packaging which contains at least 30% recycled plastic, or any packaging predominantly plastic by weight.
The tax will only apply to manufacturers and importers who exceed 10 tonnes of plastic packaging per year.
