Price basis is read from what each scheme's own entry states: statutory where the entry states a statutory or licensed standing, market-negotiated where it states that it is one of several or that its tariff is not statutory, tax where the charge is levied by a tax authority, and unknown where the entry states neither.

How to read this page

One page per scheme, not per country. A country can appear more than once because more than one scheme charges in it, and a scheme can appear under several streams because the same organisation runs packaging, textiles, batteries and electrical equipment. Each scheme page carries that scheme's own legal standing, declaration basis, the years this site publishes for it and the representative rates, with the full schedule one click away on the country page.
