Expert Plastic Packaging Tax Services in the UK
Trusted Plastic Packaging Tax Services for Businesses in the UK
The Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT), effective from April 2022, is a significant development for businesses involved in the manufacture or import of plastic packaging. If your business imports or manufactures 10 or more tonnes of plastic packaging annually, you may be required to pay the Plastic Packaging Tax. Our expert PPT consultants offer tailored services to ensure your business is fully compliant with these regulations.
Understand The PPT in 2025
The Plastic Packaging Tax applies to all plastic packaging that contains less than 30% recycled material. As of April 2025, the tax rate will increase to £223.69 per tonne. Businesses that are affected by this tax are required to submit quarterly returns to HMRC, keeping records of their plastic packaging usage.
The aim of PPT is to incentivise recycling and the use of sustainable materials, thus reducing plastic waste. However, the tax introduces new responsibilities for businesses, which can create challenges around compliance, reporting, and financial planning.
