Importation of Plastic Waste for Recycling Exempt from Special Tax on Non-Reusable Plastic Packaging

• The DGT consultation is about the importation of plastic waste for recycling
• The DGT concludes that imported plastic waste for recycling is not subject to the special tax on non-reusable plastic packaging
• The consultation was made by a company that imports plastic waste for recycling and commercialization
• The DGT explains that the tax applies to non-reusable plastic packaging and related products, but not to imported plastic waste
• If the company uses the imported plastic waste to manufacture taxed products, they will be considered manufacturers and subject to the tax
• If the plastic waste is used to make non-reusable packaging or taxed products, the company must comply with applicable regulations as a manufacturer.
