CSAOSZ: The latest law amendment of the product fee affecting the packaging industry badly

The Parliament adopted the law amendment of environmental product fee tax on the 21st of  November 2011.

The increase of fee rates means a 10 billion HUF additional burden for the affected. The total requirement according to the calculations of the  National Association of Materials Handling and Packaging (CSAOSZ) will exceed 44 billion HUF, which is particularly a huge gap, compared to the packaging product fee of 25 billion, that was in the draft of the budget law.
