take-e-way News and Press Releases

Invoices from Swiss take-back systems operators to customers who do not have an office in Switzerland were previously issued without Swiss Value Added Tax (VAT). However, there has been a change which may affect you.

take-e-way advises you to make preparations now and to close any conformity gaps in order to gain an advantage over non-compliant competitors.

According to an official communication from the EAR Foundation e-scooters continue to fall within the scope of application of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act.

Electromagnetic pickups are within the scope of application of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act.

The VERE Association endorses the new commission implementing regulation (EU) 2019/290 establishing the format for registration and reporting of producers of electrical and electronic equipment to the register as a step in the right direction.

In the course of the amendment to the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG = German WEEE conversion), a conversion of categories and device types was necessary last year.

Manufacturers of so-called "passive" devices are therefore required to submit a corresponding application for registration with the EAR Foundation in good time by 1 May 2019.
