- A company operating an existing grid-connected photovoltaic plant asked whether the purchase and installation of a battery energy storage system (BESS) to be installed at the plant site qualifies for the reduced 10% VAT rate under items 127-quinquies and 127-sexies of Table A, Part III, DPR 633/1972.
- The proposed BESS would operate in hybrid mode, storing both solar energy from the PV plant and electricity drawn from the grid, for uses including load shifting, electricity market trading, and ancillary services; the supplier intended to invoice at the standard 22% VAT rate, while the taxpayer argued the entire supply should be taxed at 10%.
