Plastic Packaging Tax Update - REUSABLE PLASTIC CRATES NOW EXEMPT

Following extensive lobbying from FPC and industry, HMRC have now recognised the significance of including imported reusable plastic crates as a taxable item. As a result, imported reusable crates are now EXEMPT (regardless of recycled content) from PPT liability.

The FPC Guidance has now been updated to reflect this.

Members are encouraged to get in touch with FPC if they have any specific issues or queries relating to PPT - please contact kshields@freshproduce.org.uk
