EPR in Spain for your online store
Registration, compliance scheme, reports and authorised representative in Spain for packaging, electrical and electronic equipment and batteries.
In short
In Spain, extended producer responsibility is centred on the Ministry's Producers Register and the collective schemes (SCRAP), with a specific tax on non-reusable plastic packaging. Foreign companies need an authorised representative.
All included in Spain: registration, compliance scheme, reports and, if your company has no establishment there, an authorised representative. Categories: packaging, electrical and electronic equipment and batteries.
Categories covered in Spain

Worth knowing
- The special tax on non-reusable plastic packaging charges €0.45 per kilo on the non-recycled plastic in the packaging you manufacture, import or acquire from other EU countries, and is declared on Form 592.
- Companies without an establishment in Spain comply through an authorised representative entered in the register, included in the service.
- Because your store's taxes go through the same point of contact, the kilos reported come from your real sales, not from an estimate.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to enter the Producers Register if I only ship boxes?
Yes. Boxes, filler and tape are shipping packaging, and whoever puts them into the hands of consumers in Spain is their producer under the rules. You must register and join a collective scheme.
What is Form 592?
The return for the tax on non-reusable plastic packaging. It is filed by period and requires keeping stock accounts for plastic.
My company is foreign and I sell in Spain. How do I comply?
Through an authorised representative entered in the Spanish register who takes on your registration and reporting obligations. It is included in the service, together with your Spanish VAT.
