valor de depósito
A deposit on packaging: 10 cents added to the price of a drink in a plastic bottle or metal can bearing the Volta symbol. It is not a tax or a mark-up: no VAT is charged on it, and it is refunded in full when you return the empty container. By law, the deposit must be shown as a separate line on the bill and separately from the product price on the price label.
Where you come across it. A supermarket receipt, a shelf price label, a café bill when you pay up front.
Deposits that nobody claims back stay with the system operator and go towards developing the system; they are not returned to shoppers.
