Always something new...
The Fees Ordinance forms the basis for covering the costs incurred by individually attributable public services in accordance with the ElektroG. The fee rates are reviewed annually by the Ministry BMUV on the basis of fluctuating transaction figures and total costs and set for the coming year.
The main changes relate to the ElektroG:
- The quarterly fee for registered manufacturers will increase from €24.10 to €43.90, resulting in an annual basic fee of €175.60 per registration account. The previous fee for changes of address or contact details will no longer apply.
- The fee for verifying the credibility of new B2B devices will be reduced from EUR 113.00 to EUR 31.00.
- Other fees, such as the registration fee per registration and the annual insolvency-proof guarantee fee, are subject to minor adjustments.
Price increases are justified by Stiftung ear primarily due to the expansion of information campaigns on the correct return and disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment. A detailed overview of the statutory fees for 2024 is available in the attached table. Please note that all figures are net prices and that the statutory fees are redefined annually by the Federal Ministry for the Environment.
