SUMMARY:Latvia natural resource tax (DRN) – packaging EPR: Latvia: natura
 l resource tax liability for non-recycled plastic packaging shifts to EPR 
 scheme operators
DESCRIPTION:Latvia's packaging natural-resource tax (dabas resursu nodoklis
 ) currently lets companies self-report and pay tax on non-recycled packagi
 ng directly. From 1 October 2026\, for plastic-containing packaging\, that
  liability shifts to a licensed extended-producer-responsibility (EPR) sch
 eme operator — companies placing packaged goods on the Latvian market mu
 st contract with such an operator or remain personally liable for the (oft
 en higher) non-recycled-packaging tax rate.\n\nWer betroffen ist: Any comp
 any placing packaged goods (retail\, food and beverage\, e-commerce\, manu
 facturing) on the Latvian market that is liable for DRN on packaging\, par
 ticularly those without an existing EPR/producer-responsibility contract.\
 n\nWas zu tun ist: Check whether your packaging is already covered by an E
 PR operator contract under the Ministry of Climate and Energy's scheme\; i
 f not\, arrange one before 1 October 2026 or budget to self-report and pay
  DRN on non-recycled plastic packaging directly. Keep filing quarterly DRN
  reports (due the 20th of the month after the quarter\, payment by the 23r
 d) regardless.\n\nSanktion: Standard DRN late-declaration/late-payment pen
 alties under the Dabas resursu nodokļa likums and the Law On Taxes and Du
 ties\n\nHinweis zum Datum: Amendment to the Dabas resursu nodokļa likums\
 , transitional provisions point 50\, takes effect 2026-10-01: for packagin
 g that wholly/partly consists of plastic and is not recycled in the report
 ing period\, the taxpayer becomes the 'apsaimniekotājs' (extended produce
 r responsibility scheme operator) contracted with the Ministry of Climate 
 and Energy's designated institution\, rather than the placing company itse
 lf (unless it has no such contract).\n\nStatus: Bestätigt\nhttps://eudead
