Do you want to reclaim the VAT on your new home battery?
Check whether you meet the following conditions:
- Home battery type
- Type of energy contract
- Trading with energy
- No prior use of the Small Business Program
What are the conditions for the VAT refund?
- Home battery type: You can only get VAT back for a smart home battery. The battery must have software to automatically (dis)charge at favorable times, based on dynamic energy prices.
- Type of energy contract: to use a smart home battery, you also need a dynamic energy contract. This contract must be in the name of the applicant for the VAT refund.
- Trading with energy: with a smart battery and a dynamic energy contract you can ‘sell’ energy. This means that your battery charges when the price of electricity is low and that it discharges when the price is higher. This means that the Tax Authorities see you as a VAT entrepreneur and you can therefore also reclaim the VAT.
- No previous use of Small Business Scheme: Do you already have solar panels and are you using the Small Business Scheme (KOR) to get VAT back on them? Then the Tax Authorities may refuse your application for the home battery. Unless you put the purchase of the battery and your energy contract in your partner's name.
