Your free guide

Download this free Plastic Packaging Tax guide (PDF format) to see if and how your business may be affected.

If your business uses packaging, then you are likely to already be aware of the Plastic Packaging Tax, introduced in the UK on 1st April 2022.

However, even now there is still considerable confusion. Who pays for the tax? Which products qualify? Are any exempt? What about bio-based materials?

As such, this guide covers five crucial areas, including which businesses are responsible for paying the tax, which products are subject to the tax, what the “last substantial modifier” means, what happens with mixed materials and, of course, what you can do to mitigate any price increases (whether you will be paying the tax or not).
