EPR and product fee representation

EPR AND PRODUCT FEE REPRESENTATION

 

Under our ongoing representation service, we provide our contracted partners with the following services:

Initial system assessment

At the start of the service, we carry out a free, comprehensive online system assessment covering the following:

  • an overview of the key elements of the legal framework for the environmental product fee and EPR, and of the obligations arising from it;
  • identification of the product fee and EPR categories and of the applicable KT and KF codes, and determination of when the obligations arise;
  • a review of the registration, notification, return and reporting obligations towards the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV), the environmental authority and MOHU;
  • an examination of the company’s data collection method, record-keeping system and past EPR and product fee practice. As part of this, we check compliance with the minimum content requirements, identify any errors and gaps, and propose solutions;
  • guidance on the mandatory invoice clauses;
  • a review of the rules on reusable packaging;
  • a review of the responsibilities of the colleagues involved, and clarification of any issues and questions raised;
  • identification of any need to request a ruling from NAV or the environmental authority and, if required, drafting of the request;
  • definition and scheduling of the next steps.

Registration and record-keeping

  • EPR registration: registration on the OKIR electronic platform, and support with registration on the Partner Portal of the concession company (MOHU).
  • EPR record-keeping: presentation of a record-keeping system that provides a reliable basis for data reporting and returns.

Reporting, returns and administration

  • EPR data reporting: regular preparation and submission via the OKIR platform.
  • Environmental product fee returns: regular preparation and submission to the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV).
  • EPR declarations: review and submission via the OKIR platform.
  • Self-revisions and retrospective returns: preparation and submission to the competent authorities.
  • Priority return handling: our partners’ returns are given priority during processing.
  • Liaison with authorities: communication and administration with NAV and the environmental authority.
  • MOHU invoice management: review of invoices issued by the concession company, where needed.

Regulatory compliance and advisory

  • Ongoing regulatory monitoring: up-to-date information on relevant legislative changes. We send a practical written summary immediately after changes take effect and, on request, provide individual or group training. This helps our partners reduce their administrative burden.
  • Dedicated expert support: a dedicated advisor who answers our partners’ questions and helps resolve product fee and EPR issues. Available on an ongoing basis by phone and e-mail.

Official audits

  • Assistance and representation: active support during official audits related to the environmental product fee and EPR.
