The English version of the more detailed description of the environmental tax in point 5 of the text concerning reporting obligations on waste electrical and electronic equipment has been updated, which also applies to producers established in another EU Member State or in a third country.
When importing or selling various electrical and electronic products via the internet, company must comply with the obligations in the territory of the Republic of Slovenia (hereinafter referred to as the: RS) laid down in the Regulation on the environmental charge for environmental pollution caused by waste electrical and electronic equipment and waste portable batteries and accumulators (Official Journal of the Republic of Slovenia, no. 84/18 and 44/22 - ZVO-2) and the Regulation on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (Official Journal of the RS, No 55/15, 47/16, 72/18, 84/18 - ZIURKOE, 108/20 and 44/22 - ZVO-2).
Pursuant to the Regulation on the environmental charge for environmental pollution caused by waste electrical and electronic equipment and waste portable batteries and accumulators (Official Journal of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 84/18, 44/22 - ZVO-2), according to the provision of Article 4(1) of the Regulation, the manufacturer and the legal person of the manufacturer must notify the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia when the activity for which the manufacturer is liable to calculate and pay the environmental charge commences, is changed or is discontinued. In view of the fact that the foreign company does not carry out its activities in the territory of the RS, such company cannot be considered as an EEE producer or a PBA producer.
A company established in another EU Member State, when selling EEE to end-users in the RS via the Internet, shall designate a legal entity or a self-employed person who will fulfil company obligations as an EEE producer.
