The tax payers who have a special payment schedule established according to the procedure laid down by points 15 and 16 hereof, shall pay the tax according to the aforesaid time schedule.

The tax according to the rates per weight unit of packaging material shall be calculated by applying separate tax rates for each type of packaging material (including transportation or tertiary, grouping or secondary and primary or purchaser’s packaging) and by summing up the corresponding calculations. A certificate of origin of goods shall serve as a basis for tax calculations at customs according to point 24 hereof, but in-land - accountancy documents of registration of materials and utilisation standards of packaging materials. If a tax payer can prove with documents the total weight of packaging material but is not able to support records on separate packaging materials, the tax can be calculated by applying the highest applicable rate for a material used in packaging and it shall apply to the whole packaging. If the packaging consists entirely of tertiary (transportation) packaging, the tax is calculating using the brutto/netto difference of the cargo. If a particular packaging material forms 95 % or more of the packaging unit then the tax for the total weight of the packaging is calculated applying the staple material rate. The tax rate set in Annex 8 Position 6 shall apply to the packaging materials which do not correspond to any of the groups listed in Annex 8 of the Law.

Remarks.

1. The tax according to the basic rates shall be applied for normative environment pollution caused by waste storage in landfills in compliance with the provisions for exploitation specified in the project.

2. Waste of the Basic Group 0 shall be classified as non-toxic provided they do not correspond by their composition to any of the groups of hazardous waste (A, B, C, D, E, F, G or H).

3. The waste of lower categories of hazardousness, which contain compounds of waste of higher categories of hazardousness in weight proportion exceeding the limits established for the respective type of waste processing or storage, shall be classified according to the category of hazardousness to which belongs the most hazardous compounds of the waste mass.

4. The tax shall be calculated for the amount (volume) of disposed waste in a non-compressed form, including the amount (volume) of special tare (cylinders, containers, etc.), ballast, stabilisers and other compounds.
