Grants and tax schemes

Subsidies are there to reduce the additional cost of sustainable and circular investments. We know all about the EIA, MIA, SDE++, among others.
For new construction and renovation there are various fiscal measures or subsidy possibilities.
Depending on the level of ambition and by cleverly combining schemes, it is often possible to achieve cost-neutral sustainability.

Various sustainability labels such as BREEAM (new construction or In-Use) or GPR can be used to determine the level of ambition and sustainability. Through our years of experience, we have built up a broad network of the necessary advisors, who can be called in where necessary.

These sustainability labels are fiscally stimulated through the Environmental Investment Allowance (MIA). Net benefit can amount to approximately 10%.

Separate, mostly installation-related components are also fiscally stimulated through the Energy Investment Allowance (EIA). The net advantage of this is around 10%.

Solar panels, solar collectors or CO2 savings. These are also subsidized separately, through the SDE++.

Smaller heat pumps or 2 measures for homes through the ISDE.

Please contact us if one of the mentioned measures is interesting for you.

MIA

MIA scheme: sustainable incentive for entrepreneurs

The Environmental Investment Allowance (MIA) is a Dutch scheme that offers entrepreneurs financial benefits for investments in environmentally friendly and sustainable business assets. This scheme, supported by the government, stimulates green initiatives and contributes to more sustainable business operations. Environmentally friendly investments in such areas as sustainable buildings, use of raw materials, emission reduction and a circular economy are eligible for the Environmental Investment Allowance (MIA). A certain percentage of the investment amount may be deducted from corporate income tax. As a result, less tax has to be paid. The amount of the deduction percentage depends on the category and the asset in which you invest and is indicated on the Environmental List. Every year the Environmental List is adjusted.

How Does the MIA Scheme Work?

  1. Financial Benefit: Entrepreneurs can benefit from a tax deduction of up to 45% of the investment amount. This results in significant cost savings.

  2. Environmentally Friendly Investments: The MIA scheme applies to various sustainable investments, such as energy-efficient equipment, electric vehicles, and eco-friendly business premises.

  3. Reduced Tax Burden: The deduction for environmentally friendly investments reduces the tax payable, encouraging business owners to make sustainable choices.

Benefits of the MIA scheme

  1. Cost savings: Entrepreneurs can save significant costs by using the MIA scheme, contributing to a healthy financial position.

  2. Sustainable Business: The MIA scheme promotes sustainability and environmentally friendly practices, creating positive environmental impacts.

  3. Innovation and Competitive Advantage: By investing in green technologies, companies can develop innovative solutions and gain a competitive advantage.
