This is the energy investment deduction subsidy. Read here what it is and what you should pay attention to if you want to qualify for this scheme.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 30px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\">What is the EIA?<\/h2>\n<p>The Dutch government has made a budget available for companies to stimulate energy-efficient investments. This is also called the EIA, or the energy investment deduction.<\/p>\n<p>With this scheme, the government wants to encourage companies to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions. The purchase of LED lighting for your company falls under this scheme. Request a quote today for replacing your lighting with sustainable LED lighting<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 30px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\">Is your investment on the energy list?<\/h2>\n<p>With the EIA, your company can deduct 45% of the costs of your investment from the taxable profit of that year. Every year, the government draws up an &#8216;energy list&#8217;. Here you will find all investments approved by the EIA. This list is revised every year and investments are added to the list.<\/p>\n<p>Replacing your lighting with LED lighting falls under the EIA.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 30px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\">EIA set for 2021<\/h2>\n<p>The percentage of the costs is also adjusted every year. For 2021, the energy investment deduction has been set at 45.5%.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent information about this can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvo.nl\/subsidie-en-financieringswijzer\/energie-investeringsaftrek\/ondernemers\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>website<\/strong><\/span><\/a> of the RVO.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 30px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\">Who is eligible for the EIA?<\/h2>\n<p>To qualify for the energy investment deduction, your investment must meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The application is made for a company;<\/li>\n<li>The company is established in the Netherlands, Aruba, Cura\u00e7ao, Sint Maarten or the BES islands;<\/li>\n<li>The company pays income tax or corporate tax;<\/li>\n<li>The investment that is made is on the Energy List (in the Energy List these are called business assets);<\/li>\n<li>The business asset to be purchased meets the requirements that the RVO sets for this by law;<\/li>\n<li>The business asset is new and has not been used before;<\/li>\n<li>The business asset is registered on time (within 3 months after the order for delivery).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The minimum investment to qualify must be 2500 euros. If you meet these and the above conditions, you can submit the application.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 30px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\">How can you apply for this subsidy?<\/h2>\n<p>You can apply for the subsidy at the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). This is part of the Dutch government. You can submit your application on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvo.nl\/subsidie-en-financieringswijzer\/energie-investeringsaftrek\/ondernemers\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>website<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The RVO issues a decision that grants that a deduction for an investment such as LED lighting may be included in the corporate tax or income tax return. <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 30px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\">How does the application process work?<\/h2>\n<p>The EIA is not a subsidy that is paid out, it is a scheme that allows for tax deduction of profits. This must be approved by the RVO. Only with the approval of the RVO can the tax deduction be included in the tax results of that year.<br \/>\nBelow are the different steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You apply for the EIA via the RVO online portal.<\/li>\n<li>Based on the data you have sent, the RVO determines whether the investment qualifies for the energy investment deduction.<\/li>\n<li>You will receive a statement from the RVO stating that your investment meets the technical requirements of the energy list.<\/li>\n<li>This means that you can include the EIA in the tax return for that year for the tax authorities.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, the tax authorities will give a verdict on the return.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 30px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\">Conditions for subsidy for LED lighting<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the general conditions that a company must meet in order to qualify for the energy investment deduction, there are also specific conditions for LED lighting.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to know that LED lighting in new construction does not qualify for the EIA. It only applies to adjustments in existing construction, so replacing your current lighting.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, costs can be submitted of a maximum investment amount of \u20ac25.00 per 1000 lumens (luminous flux generated by the fixture). The power factor of the LED system must be at least 0.90.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 30px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;\">Switching to LED lighting is a very good idea<\/h2>\n<p>You should not only switch to LED lighting because of the tax benefits. By switching, you are also contributing to a sustainable future. In this way, every company contributes to a more environmentally friendly business community.<\/p>\n<p>We replace the lighting in offices, showrooms, sports fields and shops, among other things. We are also specialized in biodynamic lighting and ATEX lighting.<\/p>\n<p>Curious about what we can do for your company?
