Other Taxes: Product fee

Businesses that introduce specified types of products (e.g. IT equipment and batteries), as well as products with specific types of packaging, are obliged to achieve a legally prescribed level of recycling or recovery. If the required level is not achieved, a business is obliged to pay a product fee which is calculated annually. The basis for the calculation is the difference between the required level of recycling or recovery and the quantity of products that were actually recycled or recovered.
