Late declaration fee and estimate-based invoice for packaging data 2021
According to the terms of contract, companies must report to RINKI Ltd annually the packaging materials and quantities that they have used to pack their products and placed on the market or imported together with its products. The 2020 packaging data must be submitted by 28 February 2021.
Reporting the packaging data is essential for the producer responsibility system to work as it directly affects the system’s financing, invoicing and operations. If a company submits the 2020 data after 28 February 2021, RINKI Ltd will collect a fee for the late declaration. The fee is EUR 200 (+VAT) for each delayed month or part thereof and it will be charged for a maximum of three months.
If the company has not submitted the 2020 packaging data by the end of May 2021, RINKI Ltd will invoice the late declaration fee as well as estimate-based customer and recycling fees, which will be based on the packaging data available to RINKI Ltd.
