- Wooden pellets (beech, oak, spruce) used exclusively as heating fuel are subject to a reduced VAT rate of 11%, if the buyer provides a self-declaration.
- If no self-declaration is provided for heating use, wooden pellets are taxed at the standard VAT rate of 21%.
- Pellets made from agricultural biomass (straw, corn stalks, etc.) are always subject to the standard VAT rate of 21%.
- The reduced VAT rate applies only to wooden pellets and related by-products, not to other biomass materials.
- The fiscal regime aims to promote wooden pellets as renewable energy by offering a lower VAT rate, based on material and declared use.
