The regulation on extended producer responsibility rates (EPR rates) has been published!
With the publication of the respective ministerial decree, the tariff rates for certain EPR tariff products have become known.
From 1 July 2023, the new regulation sets higher rates for a number of material and product streams compared to the existing environmental product charge (EPC) rates.
Since the rate of the green tax should be deducted by the extended producer responsibility fee, the amount of the payable green tax will be less, despite of the fact that the obligor should pay more than before.
The extended producer responsibility fee per unit for collective fulfilment will be modified as follows:
