27C Transfers of ownership: further obligations where the transferor is a large producer

(1) This regulation applies where— (a) a transfer of ownership of a brand or business takes place as referred to in regulation 27B(1); and (b) the transferor is a large producer in the relevant year in which the transfer of ownership takes place. (2) In this regulation, “TR” and “TE” have the same meanings as in regulation 27B. (3) TR and TE must each submit to the appropriate agency reports of data under regulation 35, or resubmit reports if they have already reported data under that regulation, for the reporting periods ending on 30th June and 31st December in— (a) the relevant year in which the transfer of ownership takes place; and (b) the year before that relevant year. (4) For the purpose of reports that are submitted or resubmitted under paragraph (3), any packaging that was supplied by TR before the date of the transfer of ownership with the brand, or by the business, acquired by TE, is to be treated as if it had been supplied by TE and not by TR. (5) Paragraphs (3) and (4) apply to TR regardless of whether it remains a producer following the transfer of the brand or business in question. (6) A report which is required to be submitted or resubmitted under paragraph (3) must be submitted or resubmitted to the appropriate agency— (a) on or before the later of— (i) the date on which reports for that reporting period are required to be submitted under regulation 35; or (ii) the end of a period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the transfer of ownership takes place; and (b) in accordance with regulation 39 (reporting obligations: general provisions). (7) If, for the relevant year in which the transfer of ownership takes place, TR would, but for this paragraph, be subject to recycling obligations in respect of packaging which was supplied with the brand, or by the business, that has been acquired by TE— (a) TR ceases to be subject to those recycling obligations; and (b) TE is subject to those recycling obligations instead. (8) If TR is (or would, but for the transfer, be) a liable producer under Part 5 in the assessment year starting on 1st April in the relevant year in which the transfer of ownership takes place, the disposal fees and administration fees payable by TR and TE for that assessment year are to be calculated taking into account the data submitted, or resubmitted, by TR and TE under paragraph (3)(a).

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
