As an importer of plastics and your supplier of choice, BLUESKY will be responsible for paying the tax directly and reporting the relevant data required by HMRC.

We understand that during this interim period there has been confusion surrounding this subject. Therefore we have created a comprehensive overview of what the tax will mean for you and how we will support you.
