How fees are set

Natural resources tax on textiles (DRN) — Statutory tax rate set in section 26.1 of the Latvian Natural Resources Tax Law; producers who ensure separate collection and join an approved textile EPR scheme are exempt.

Latvia publishes no per-kilogram scheme fee for textiles. What exists is a statutory natural resources tax (dabas resursu nodoklis) on textile products, added to the law in December 2023 and in force from 1 July 2024. It is payable per kilogram of textile products sold in Latvia or used for the producer's own economic activity, and it is not payable where the producer ensures separate collection and preparation for re-use, recycling or recovery and either operates an approved extended producer responsibility scheme for textile waste or contracts with an approved textile waste manager. The rate shown is therefore the fallback price paid by producers who stay outside a scheme — the same shape as the Polish opłata produktowa already in this dataset, not a scheme tariff. The law defines textile products as household textiles, clothing, clothing accessories and footwear, including articles whose main component is not a textile material.

Declaration basis: EUR per kg of textile products, statutory tax rate. Official rates page: likumi.lv ↗
