• You must keep accounts and records to support the information provided when you complete your quarterly PPT return.
• Your accounts must show how you have worked out the figures you submit on your PPT return, and your records must show the evidence to support these figures, including evidence of any exemptions from the tax and the recycled plastic content.
• You must keep your accounts and records for at least 6 years from the end of the accounting period, and record weight in tonnes, kilograms, and grams.
• You will need to pay any tax due through your online PPT account. You can pay via Direct Debit, Bacs, CHAPS, Debit/Corporate credit card or Faster Payments.
