January has flown by, and so will the next 11 months of the year. That means 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 that's often overlooked is the Packaging Regulations — but ignoring them can lead to big issues down the line.

The Packaging Regulations apply to businesses that meet certain criteria. If your company is registered in the UK or has a presence here — even just one employee — and you have a turnover over £2 million, then you may be affected. Additionally, if you buy goods with packaging or add your own packaging to products, you might fall under these rules.

The regulations cover all types of packaging — from the materials used to contain, protect, handle, deliver, or present your goods. This includes everything from boxes and plastic wraps to labels and inserts. It’s not just about what you sell; it also covers what you receive and what you give to customers.

So, what does this mean for your business? If you meet the conditions, you’ll need to complete an annual 'Packaging Tax' return. But it’s not as straightforward as it sounds. Understanding the nuances of the regulations requires expertise, which can be time-consuming to develop on your own.

This is where Kite comes in. We help simplify the process by identifying what packaging is considered 'obligated' and whether your business needs to file a return. Our team can guide you through the complexities of the Packaging Regulations and assist in setting up a tailored data collection system — ensuring accuracy and saving you both time and money in the long run.

Now is the time to take control and ensure you’re compliant. A great first step is to reach out to our team of experts at Kite. We can help you understand exactly what you need to do and how to stay on top of your obligations.
