VAT on the fee for plastic packaging. Guidelines needed.

  • There is uncertainty about whether the fee for plastic packaging for food and drinks, which must be collected from customers from January 1, 2024, is subject to VAT.
  • It is also unclear whether it should be listed on the receipt together with the meal or drink, or separately.
  • The lack of clear regulations on this matter is important for restaurants, cafes, and catering companies.
  • From January 1, 2024, they must collect 20 gr for a cup and 25 gr for other types of packaging from customers buying take-away meals or drinks.
  • Tax advisors argue that guidelines from the Ministry of Finance are necessary regarding VAT on the new fee.
