There is no actual legal requirement for any shop that charges for a bag to pass the charge on to anywhere else.

How the proceeds will be used
This is not a tax and the money from the charge does not go to the government.
We expect retailers to donate the proceeds of the scheme to good causes, but it is for them to choose what to do, and which causes to support. Retailers will need to report to us about what they do with the money from the charge, and we will publish this information each year.
The charge in Wales has already generated millions of pounds for good causes.
