Got your Ducks in a Row?

Got Your Ducks in a Row?

By Andy Fay • Tuesday 16th February 2016

January has flown by, and so will the next 11 months of the year. That’s why now is the perfect time to get your ducks in a row and make sure you're fully aware of all the regulations that could affect your business. One area often overlooked is the Packaging Regulations — but they can have a real impact on your operations if you’re not careful.

So what exactly makes a business subject to the Packaging Regulations? Well, there are a few key criteria:

  • You must be a UK-registered business or have a physical presence in the UK, even if it's just one employee.
  • Your company must have an annual turnover exceeding £2 million.
  • You must purchase goods that come with packaging, or add packaging to products yourself.

These rules apply to all types of packaging — from the materials used to contain, protect, handle, deliver, or present your goods. Whether it's boxes, plastic wrap, or even labels, it all counts.

So what does this mean for your business?

If you meet the above conditions, you’ll need to complete an annual ‘Packaging Tax’ return. But it’s not as straightforward as it sounds. The rules can be complex, and understanding them requires some expertise. That’s where Kite comes in.

We help businesses like yours navigate the Packaging Regulations with ease. Our team can assess which packaging is considered obligated and whether you need to file a return. We also work with you to create a tailored data collection system, ensuring you gather the right information the first time around — saving you both time and money.

With the right support, staying compliant doesn’t have to be a headache. It’s about taking control and making sure you’re prepared for what’s ahead.
