- The Danish Tax Agency deemed the sale of PP non-woven bags from August 1 to December 31, 2020, subject to packaging tax under section 2a of the Packaging Tax Act.
- The company was required to pay DKK 1,529,556 in packaging tax.
- The bags were considered taxable because they were made of plastic, had handles, and a capacity of at least 5 liters, functioning as traditional carrying bags.
- There was no evidence that the bags had a special function exempting them from the tax.
- The Land Tax Court upheld the Tax Agency’s decision, finding no administrative practice preventing the tax collection (decision by majority).
