Verified 2026-10-01 on EMTA's packaging page: "Pakendiaktsiisi maksukohustuse tekkimisel peab aktsiisimaksja Maksu- ja Tolliametile esitama maksustamisperioodi kohta aktsiisideklaratsiooni maksustamisperioodile järgneva kuu 15. päevaks", with the tax period being a calendar quarter. A business that has transferred its obligations to a licensed packaging recovery organisation (PakAS § 11¹) does not file this itself; for the recovery organisation the period is the calendar year.
