I provide paper bags, because when I was getting started, my mother wanted me
to have beautiful bags and didn't like the ones I was getting. She bought threeyears worth of bags supply and gave them to me for free just so I was forced touse them instead of the ones I actuallyu wanted to use...

It is illegal in Spain to give carry-away bags for free. I have mines concealedand if some customer asks for one I pull it out and give it to him for free.
Most people is expending well above 50 bucks per order and I think billing 5
cents when somebody is spending 75 bucks is very lame.

so it's illegal to give plastic bags for free, but does the money charged go to a certain separate program for recycling?

Hello Arelor!

A> It is illegal in Spain to give carry-away bags for free.

All bags? ..or just plastic ones?

If have to charge for the bags, do you have to send that money
to the government? How can they even enforce it?

If they're shrewd they build it into the cost of the bag.

Not many people knew that blank CD-Rs had a kickback to the recording
industry. Every single one. They *assumed* that CD-Rs would be used for
pirating music, and so lobbied the government to include a built-in
tariff, regardless of what you used them for. The manufacturer pays the
government and bakes the charge into the media.

They probably do the same with bags.

THey started banning free plastic bags. I don't know if they have borged paperbags in because, frankly, I don't care.

You can be as careful as you want not to break the law, then one day you get
fined for some stupid detail you didn't even know was a legal requerinment.

When you have ten thousand silly laws, you destroy any respect for law.

There is no way I am gonna get my retirement pension out of the Spanish welfaresystem, so excuse me if I fail to comply with their nonsense.

> If they're shrewd they build it into the cost of the bag.

It is not a tax. They just want you to bill the bag.

Of course they would get the VAT from the bag that way. I guess many people hasnot realized it was a covered tax raise on working class folks - if I give a
bag for free I don't include its VAT in my declaration, if I happen to operate
a business that declares VAT.

Small retailers don't declare VAT (they pay the sale taxes in advance, before
selling the stuff) so how you declare your bag sales to be like afterwards
doesn't matter much. It is different for big surfaces that do VAT declarations,in which I guess it makes a difference if the government get 21% of the price
of all bags sold.

Well, they bake a lot of hidden taxes in stuff.

By sending the Gestapo Business Inspection police to check you have the sign
that reads "In accordance to law XXX we are billing for the bags in this
place."

So many people have those signs that I suspect it is yet another mound of
mandatory bullshit.

They also check you have your heating tunned down because they want both you
and your customers to freeze to death in your store.

A basic plastic bag costs about 5cents to buy in bulk. So..
the charge wouldn't be a profit by any means. However, a paper
bag with handles can easily cost 25cents to get. At that cost,
I would be incentivised to charge for those! :D
