- juliushuijnk 1mo agoIt's not a tax, it's a 'loan'. You'll get the money back if you return the bottle later.

- Ekaros 1mo agoDepends on country. In Finland that is also part of the price. Separate line on the receipt, but included in any advertised price.
- daef 1mo agoyeah, this one also gets to my bones. and then you cant return every deposit-taxed bottle everywhere - but only in stores where it's sold. then some friends leave bottles at your place which you cannot return anywhere near... what a mess
- stevekemp 1mo agoThis is obviously regional too; here in finland all stores that sell "drinks" have a machine for accepting returns. It doesn't matter what kind of bottle it is, or which company made it, all returns are accepted at every point. Children, unemployed, and elderly people are often seen hunting for stray cans/bottles, by bins, in parks, and similar places, to return them for the cash.
