Eurofins Product Testing - Swiss VOC tax

SwitzerlandIn EnglishUK:

The VOC tax in Switzerland aims at reducing VOC emissions from products by applying financial disadvantage to high VOC products. This concerns VOC emissions during manufacture, and VOC contents in the product.

Products concerned are those with more than 3% by weight VOC - but only those products and those VOC, that are on a substances positive list and a products positive list. The tax is CHF 3 per kg VOC since 1st January 2003, to be paid at place of manufacture if in Switzerland, else when importing.

In GermanGermany:

Die VOC-Lenkungsabgabe in der Schweiz hat zum Ziel, durch finanzielle Anreize die Freisetzung von VOC aus Produkten zu verringern - und zwar sowohl während der Produktion als auch während und nach der Nutzungsphase (Massenbilanz).

Produkte ab einem VOC-Gehalt von 3% werden erfasst, allerdings nicht alle Produkte und alle VOC, sondern nur solche auf einer Stoff-Positivliste und einer Produkt-Positivliste. Die Abgabe beträgt seit dem 1. Januar 2003 CHF 3 pro kg VOC und wird am Ort der Schweizer Produktionsstätte erhoben, oder beim Import der Produkte.
