A Guide to the Single-use Carrier Bag Charge

Although the charge applies across the UK, the detailed requirements vary between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
This factsheet sets out how the requirement for retailers to charge for carrier bags applies across the UK.

The factsheet also explains when retailers do not have to make the charge.
