EIA

The Energie-investeringsaftrek (EIA) offers a tax benefit for entrepeneurs who invest in energy efficient technologies, CO2 reduction and sustainable energy.

"Energie-investeringsaftrek" means "energy investment deduction".

Why EIA?

You can deduct the investment costs of sustainable assets from your profits through the EIA. This lowers your fiscal profits and reduces the amount of corporate tax which you need to pay.

Everything about the EIA

The most important questions about the EIA are answered here.

Is your question not on the list?

What is the EIA?

The EIA offers a reduction in corporate taxes when you invest in sustainable technologies.

Am I eligible for the EIA?

You are eligible if your company is based in the Netherlands and you pay income tax or corporate tax. You can make use of the EIA when you invest in new assets which are on the Energylist.

What must I do for the EIA?

Both purchasing costs and production costs are eligible for the EIA subsidy. These could for example be labour costs, and material costs for production and installation, as well as expenses for technical services or existing assets. Furthermore, tailor-made investments which result in a vast energy savings are eligible. Lastly, it is beneficial to get your own sustainable products on the energy list. This can lower the investment threshold for potential customers, resulting in a more competitive product.

What do I gain through the EIA?

You can deduct up to 45,5% of the eligible investment costs from your fiscal profits. This lowers your corporate tax and generally leads to a net benefit of 11%.

Which energy efficient technologies are eligible for the EIA?

The brochure "Energielijst 2022" lists all sustainable technologies which are eligible. These are split in seven categories:

  • Company buildings

  • Processes

  • Means of transport

  • Sustainable energy

  • Energy balancing

  • Energy transition

  • Energy advice, tailor-made advice and CO2 emission reduction plans
