Am I an exporter?
You are an ‘Exporter’ if you or your business makes an ‘Export Supply’.
An ‘Export Supply’ is a supply of suitable eligible containers outside of Tasmania for the first time where those suitable eligible containers were supplied by a First Responsible Supplier in Tasmania.
The Export Supply Protocol explains this further, including relevant exclusions and inclusions.
When can I sign up as an Exporter?
All Exporters will be able to register in early 2025.
What data or reports are required of an Exporter?
As a registered Exporter, you will have certain reporting obligations:
Historical Data
- A statement that specifies the number of suitable eligible containers supplied by the Exporter in Tasmania in the 12-month period immediately prior to Scheme Commencement.
- This must be provided within 10 business days of the date you sign an Export Supply Deed Poll (or when the system opens).
Monthly Data
A monthly Exporter Supply Statement setting out:
- the aggregate number of suitable eligible containers that were the subject of export supplies by the exporter during the previous month in aggregate and by reference to each material type;
- a statement that the Exporter reasonably believes that each suitable eligible container noted in the report will not be further supplied to a person within Tasmania;
- if the Exporter is aware that any information previously provided by that Exporter in an Export Supply Statement was incorrect, to the extent the Exporter has not provided updated information in a further Export Supply Statement, particulars of such incorrect information, including the respects in which it was incorrect and updated correct information; and
- such other reasonable information required by TasRecycle to inform and make calculations in accordance with the Export Supply Protocol and the Scheme Payments and Contribution Methodology.
The Export Supply Statement must be lodged with TasRecycle no later than 15 days (or nearest business day) after the end of the prior month.
Annual Data
An annual statutory declaration confirming the accuracy of the prior 12 months’ submissions at the end of each financial year.
How do I receive an export refund?
Exporters will be able to submit payment claims by lodging an Export Supply Statement once the scheme is operational.
How do I submit Actual Export Volumes?
- The nominated portal users will be provided with access to the business portal to submit the actual export volumes.
- Please submit the actual export volumes by the 15th day of the following month.
