  • These schemes are open to companies of all sizes and sectors.
  • The deductions apply to a wide range of energy- or environment-related investments, including solar and wind, heat pumps, electric mobility, and sustainable production means.
  • They are administered by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) in cooperation with the Tax Authorities.
  • The fiscal benefits depend on the scale and type of the investment.

Purpose: Encouraging Sustainable Investment

EIA, MIA, and VAMIL are intended to encourage companies to invest in sustainable technologies and energy production. By making such investments fiscally attractive, the government supports the transition to a more sustainable economy.

Eligible Investments: Broad Coverage

All tax deductions apply to a broad range of investments. Whether you’re investing in solar energy, wind energy, heat pumps, or any other energy-efficient technology, EIA, MIA, and VAMIL can offer you fiscal benefits.

Applications via RVO / Tax Authorities

You can apply for these schemes via the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), in collaboration with the Tax Authorities. It’s important to submit your application within 3 months after entering into the investment obligation. But don’t worry: Enablemi has the expertise to guide you through both the submission and execution of your project.

Variable Benefits

The fiscal advantage you can receive depends on the extent and type of your investment. For EIA, a fixed deduction percentage applies; MIA uses variable percentages. It’s worth staying informed about specific conditions to maximize your benefit from these fiscal incentives.
