- VEH wants the government to end double VAT on EV charging in homeowners’ associations (VvE’s).
- The problem is that electricity bought by a VvE is taxed with 21% VAT, and then VAT is charged again when the charge point operator bills the user.
- This makes charging in apartment buildings more expensive than in standalone homes, by about €190 per year for an average user.
- VEH says this discourages charging infrastructure and conflicts with climate and EV policy goals.
- It is asking for a VAT exemption, leniency, or refund scheme, plus clearer tax guidance, since current workaround options are too complex for many VvE boards.
