Effective April 1, 2024, beverage product brand owners with Brand Owner Agreements with Encorp Atlantic must report quantities and remit deposits, along with container recycling fees (CRFs), to Encorp for all applicable beverage product sales in New Brunswick from that date onwards.
You must submit these by doing Remittance Reports through our Brand Owner Portal. Reports are due within 10 days of your remittance period, and payments are due within 30 business days of your remittance period.
- You must report all sales of ready-to-drink deposit-bearing beverage products sold and shipped into the Province of New Brunswick, detailing the container types and quantities. Based on this information, our reporting system will automatically calculate the deposits and CRFs that you must remit.
- Reports submitted to Encorp must only include products sold in New Brunswick, for consumption in the Province.
- All sales of deposit-bearing beverage products registered with Encorp must be reported monthly. A zero report needs to be filed in case of no beverage container sales recorded in a reporting period. (Note that depending on annual volumes, some brand owners may be given less frequent reporting schedules from Encorp – i.e., quarterly, semi-annually or yearly. Encorp will evaluate your sales volume annually and advise if you qualify for a different reporting schedule.)
- Reports are due within 10 days of the end of each calendar month for the previous calendar month’s reporting period. Payments to Encorp must be made within 30 days of the end of each reporting period. Encorp accepts payments via electronic funds transfer (EFT) or cheque.
- Encorp regularly updates CRFs in April each year. The new CRF rates automatically apply to sales reported from April 1, onward. If your reporting period overlaps March and April, you will need to submit two separate reports: one covering sales up to March 31 of that year, and another for sales starting April 1 of that year.
ATTENTION!
The following applies ONLY to brand owners of alcohol beverage products:
- You must report and remit deposits and CRFs for beverage products manufactured and sold on your premises, as well as those sold to other establishments/retailers for sale in New Brunswick, excluding Alcool NB Liquor (ANBL) and its distribution network. (ANBL handles reporting sales and remitting deposits and CRFs to Encorp on your behalf for all your beverage products distributed through its distribution systems, including agency stores.) If ALL your beverage products are exclusively sold in New Brunswick through ANBL and its distribution systems, you DO NOT need to complete or submit Remittance Reports to Encorp. However, we recommend keeping your Brand Owner Portal login credentials for reference in case you begin selling products on-site – outside of ANBL and its distribution system – at a later date.
