Measure description Coverage of the measure
Environmental Aid: Substitution of the Pollution Charge
Companies that substitute their obligation to pay the pollution charge by investments in environmental protection

According to the Environmental Charges Act companies have to pay a charge for the release of pollutants or waste into the environment. According to Article 48 of the Environmental Charges Act, the obligation to pay the pollution charge can be substituted by investments if:
- the polluter implements measures, which ensure the reduction of pollutants over the course of 3 years by not less than 15% in comparison with the last accounting period prior to the implementation of such measures;
- in case of hazardous waste, the eliminator of such waste implements over the course of 3 years measures, which allow the former hazardous waste to be treated as non-hazardous waste;
- in case of hazardous waste, which technically cannot be recycled, the eliminator of the waste builds a waste disposal site for such waste over the course of 3 years.

The extent to which the pollution charge is substituted shall not exceed the cost of the environmental protection measures. In certain cases the applicant has to undertake energy efficiency measures for substitution.
Type of measure
Pollution charge substitution with investments in environmental protection or energy efficiency
