RAP obligations for tobacco filters and related products
If you are a manufacturer, importer, distributor, or retailer of plastic bags of any type or material through an online store, you are required, in accordance with Royal Decree 1093/2024 of October 22, which regulates the management of waste from tobacco products with filters and filters marketed for use with tobacco products containing plastic and which are single-use, to declare and pay for the management of waste from these filters generated in Spanish territory.
What declarations am I required to make?
Royal Decree 1093/2024, of October 22, regulating the management of waste from tobacco products with filters and filters sold on the market, establishes that these products must be declared annually through the corresponding PRO.
The provisional declaration of filters placed on the market must be submitted each year at the beginning of the financial year and include a realistic estimate of all products that will be marketed during that financial year, also specifying the materials they are made of and the percentage of plastic.
The deadline for submitting this declaration is March 31 for each financial year, except for companies that register after this date, for which the deadline is December 31 of each financial year.
Once the fiscal year has ended, the final declaration must be made, which is an adjustment to the provisional declaration, reflecting the actual quantities placed on the market in the previous fiscal year. The deadline for submitting this declaration is February 28 of each fiscal year.
