The Energy Investment Allowance (EIA) is a tax scheme for entrepreneurs who invest in energy-saving assets and technologies.
Ignite Group can ensure that your investment falls under 1 of the 131 categories in the annual Energy List, containing the EIA conditions per asset. Then you can deduct 40% of the investment amount from the taxable profit or taxable income. The tax benefit for companies subject to corporate tax is often 10.3% of the investment amount. For a sole proprietorship or V.O.F. this can rise to 19.8%. In practice, we see that our customers benefit from several thousand euros to several hundred thousand euros by taking advantage of the Energy Investment Deduction (EIA). The budget for the EIA 2024 is €259 million.
There are also other forms of investment deduction, such as the environmental investment deduction (MIA). for environmentally friendly assets or environmentally saving techniques (raw materials, water, emissions, recycling, reuse). There are also schemes with a direct contribution, such as the Investment grant for sustainable energy and energy savings (ISDE) and the Accelerated Climate Investments Industry (VEKI).

Energy-saving assets and techniques that are not specifically mentioned on the Energy List may also be eligible for the Energy Investment Allowance (EIA).

This requires a lot of knowledge to calculate the energy savings in such a way that they are proportionate to the investment.
