Bertil Kapff

Senior Manager

I advise on all national and cross-border issues of energy and electricity tax as well as alcohol tax law. My main areas of expertise are tax privileges for the manufacturing industry, power plant projects, the transport of excisable goods and the introduction of tax compliance management systems. The functional integration and implementation of IT topics is just as much a matter of course for me as multilingual consulting in German, English and French. My technical and business background helps me to find practical solutions. I regularly share the diverse experiences from my consulting activities in essays, seminars and conferences. I look forward to hearing from you and to an inspiring exchange.

Challenges take you forward: Level your path yourself! As a Pioneer in Tax I move in unknown terrain every day.

Manufacturers and importers of products made of single-use plastic will contribute to the costs of municipal waste disposal in parks and streets in future through a new special levy. Until now, the general public has borne the costs of cleaning up and disposing of carelessly discarded waste. According to the Federal government’s plans, this situation is now about to change.

The new tax will apply to plastic packaging manufactured in or imported into the UK that does not contain at least 30% recycled plastic.
