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\nKogo dotyczy: Any company p
 lacing packaged goods (retail\, food and beverage\, e-commerce\, manufactu
 ring) on the Latvian market that is liable for DRN on packaging\, particul
 arly those without an existing EPR/producer-responsibility contract.\n\nCo
  zrobić: Check whether your packaging is already covered by an EPR operat
 or contract under the Ministry of Climate and Energy's scheme\; if not\, a
 rrange one before 1 October 2026 or budget to self-report and pay DRN on n
 on-recycled plastic packaging directly. Keep filing quarterly DRN reports 
 (due the 20th of the month after the quarter\, payment by the 23rd) regard
 less.\n\nSankcje: Standard DRN late-declaration/late-payment penalties und
 er the Dabas resursu nodokļa likums and the Law On Taxes and Duties\n\nUw
 aga do daty: Amendment to the Dabas resursu nodokļa likums\, transitional
  provisions point 50\, takes effect 2026-10-01: for packaging that wholly/
 partly consists of plastic and is not recycled in the reporting period\, t
 he taxpayer becomes the 'apsaimniekotājs' (extended producer responsibili
 ty scheme operator) contracted with the Ministry of Climate and Energy's d
 esignated institution\, rather than the placing company itself (unless it 
 has no such contract).\n\nStatus: Potwierdzony\nhttps://eudeadlines.eu/pl/
