Charge on hazardous waste

The charge on hazardous waste is calculated and paid according to the quantity of produced untreated or non-exported hazardous waste, and according to the properties of waste.

Persons liable to pay the charge on hazardous waste are legal and natural persons pursing a business activity which generates hazardous waste.

The charge on hazardous waste is paid by the persons subject to the fee based on the decision of the Fund, where the unit charge per tonne of generated but untreated or non-exported hazardous waste amounts to HRK 100.00.
The amount of the charge on hazardous waste is calculated using the formula: N = N1 x P x kk, where:
         
          N – is the amount of the charge on hazardous waste in HRK,
          N1 – is the charge per tonne of generated but untreated or non-exported hazardous (unit charge),
          P – is the quantity of generated but untreated or non-exported hazardous in a given calendar year,
          kk – is the corrective coefficient depending on the properties of hazardous waste.

The method and time limits for the calculation and payment of the charge on hazardous waste, as well as the unit charge, corrective coefficient and more detailed criteria and benchmarks for establishing the amount of the charge on hazardous waste are regulated in the Ordinance on the method and time limits for calculation and payment of charges on burdening the environment with waste (NN 95/04) and the Regulation on unit charges, corrective coefficients and detailed criteria and standards for determining the charges on burdening the environment with waste (OG 71/04).
