MAYGREEN simplifies electricity tax refunds with digital solution

The comprehensive reduction in electricity tax announced in the coalition agreement will once again be at the center of political debate in 2025. The federal government had originally intended to implement far-reaching tax relief for companies in the manufacturing sector, as well as agriculture and forestry. However, as Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Katharina Reiche (CDU) has now announced, the planned package of measures will not be fully implemented due to the strained budget situation. This means that minimum tax rates will remain in place beyond 2025, which affected companies will have to adjust to.

Bureaucratic hurdles when applying

This continues to mean considerable bureaucratic effort for these businesses. To still be able to take advantage of the relief, tax relief must be actively applied for at the main customs offices. Since this year, applications have been accepted exclusively electronically. At the same time, the framework has become more complex – particularly in connection with regulations on self-generated electricity and the amended Energy Tax Act.
