Energy and electricity tax
A relevant cost factor for energy-intensive projects or industrial sites is electricity and/or energy taxes. However, legislators provide for numerous tax relief and exemption options for the benefit of taxpayers in the area of energy supply. However, the regulations in question are extremely complicated and the conditions need to be specified in detail. As a result, many people affected leave considerable savings potential unused every year. We advise you on the identification and realisation of this potential.
