Bag Bill Statement: New Obligations for Businesses under the Environmental Protection Law

The Environmental Protection Law has introduced a new obligation for businesses that use plastic bags, which is the bag bill statement. This statement is a declaration of the amount of plastic bags used and the payment of a recycling contribution fee. The main purpose of this fee is to reduce the use of plastic bags and protect the environment.

The bag bill statement is a three-part document that includes general information, declaration of the amount of plastic bags used, and information about the payment of the recycling contribution fee. Businesses that do not use plastic bags or do not sell plastic bags are also required to submit this statement, with a value of '0' in the relevant sections.

In order to submit the bag bill statement, businesses must first register with the Interactive Tax Office and then fill in the required information. If a business has previously purchased plastic bags from an unknown source or has stockpiles of plastic bags, they must declare this information in the statement.

Conclusion and Evaluation: The bag bill statement is an application aimed at reducing the use of plastic bags and protecting the environment. Businesses must take the necessary steps to fulfill this obligation and submit the bag bill statement correctly and on time.
