Pay less tax on innovation investments

Energy Investment Allowance (EIA)

Are you interested in gaining tax benefits for your company? With the Energy Investment Allowance (EIA, in Dutch: Energie-investeringsaftrek) you pay less tax when you invest in CO₂ reduction, energy-efficient technologies and/or sustainable energy. 40% of the investment costs can be deducted from the taxable profit (on top of the usual depreciation).The average benefit from this scheme is 10%. And your investment lowers the energy bill.
