Confident compliance with the Plastic Packaging Tax. Leave it to Beyondly.
HMRC introduced the Plastic Packaging Tax in the UK on 1st April 2022 as part of the UK’s resource and waste strategy to encourage the usage of recycled material in plastic packaging in the UK.
Plastic packaging components manufactured in and imported into the UK are liable for a specific material tax at £217.85 per tonne (increasing to £233.69 from 1st April 2025) where it does not meet a minimum recycled content of 30% by weight. Businesses are exempt from paying the tax if they manufacture or import less than 10 tonnes of plastic packaging in a 12-month period.
The tax applies to plastic packaging on a per component basis. Multi-material packaging components are classed as plastic packaging if they are predominantly plastic by weight.
