Are you investing in an asset that reduces CO2 emissions, is energy efficient or do you want to invest in renewable energy? Then take advantage of the Energy Investment Allowance (EIA). You can then deduct 40% of the investment costs from your profit, this reduces your taxable profit. It gives you an average 10% benefit. In addition, you have the usual depreciation for your investment as well as a lower energy bill.

For whom?

The EIA is for all entrepreneurs subject to income tax or corporation tax. A government organisation, foundation or association can also use the EIA, if they pay corporate income tax. The scheme is not for private individuals.

Are you going to use or generate more electricity because you are becoming more sustainable? If so, before applying for EIA, check whether you will suffer from an overloaded electricity grid in your region (net congestion).

Check whether your investment is on the Energy List

You can apply for EIA for investments that are on the Energy List. The code description of the investment on the Energy List lists the requirements and conditions your investment must meet. Check whether your investment is on the Energy List using the online search tool.

Search online in the Energy List

Do you want more information about the Energy List? for example, about the structure of the list in certain themes, categories? Or the codes?

Submit a proposal for the Energy List

We update the Energy List every year with your help. This allows you to make a proposal for a new asset. 

Read what your proposal should contain and how we will assess your proposal.

Do you get a tax benefit?

One of the most important conditions of the EIA is that your investment meets the description under one of the codes of the Energy List. There are other conditions as well. We ve listed these for you.
