Lebanon Introduces New Environmental Fees
The Lebanese Council of Ministers approved a decree amending the environmental fees imposed on waste-generating products, with the aim of updating the calculation method and expanding its scope to include a wider range of goods. The fees include a 3% rate on tobacco, alcoholic beverages, clothing, shoes, and headgear, and a 2% rate on cars and vehicles designated for passenger transportation, along with varying fees on other industrial and consumer products, with certain categories exempted. The amount of the fee is determined based on the quantity or type of waste produced from manufacturing or use. The decision will take effect upon its publication in the Official Gazette.
