Replacing Thermal Panels due to Damage: VAT Considerations

  • The consultee is going to replace thermal panels in their home due to a malfunction.
  • They may be eligible for a 10% VAT rate and can apply the deduction for energy efficiency improvements in the personal income tax.
  • To apply the reduced VAT rate, the works must be considered repairs and renovations, with material costs not exceeding 40%.
  • If not, the general tax rate of 21% will apply.
  • The consultee can apply the deduction for energy efficiency improvements in their home for the personal income tax.
  • The deduction requires a minimum 30% reduction in non-renewable primary energy consumption or an improvement in the energy rating of the building to class “A” or “B”.
  • A certificate of energy efficiency must be obtained before the start of the works, valid for up to two years.
