Recorded because the opposite is widely repeated and would send a manufacturer to the wrong authority. Hungary used to charge a környezetvédelmi termékdíj on electrical and electronic equipment and on batteries alongside the waste duties, but the tax authority's own current information booklet number 48, published 23 January 2026, lists only three categories of fee-liable product: egyéb kőolajtermék, egyéb műanyagtermék and egyéb vegyipari termék. Neither electrical and electronic equipment nor batteries appears anywhere in the fee-liable scope of that booklet. The residual product-fee mechanics still described there, such as the TKORNY notification to NAV within 15 days of starting the activity under Ktdt. 10. § (1), therefore bite only if the device business also places one of those three product groups on the Hungarian market; the waste-side obligation for the device itself now runs through the extended producer responsibility register and the concession company instead.
