VAT refund check for your home battery

Since 2024 you can reclaim the 21 percent VAT on a home battery, under conditions. Answer a few short questions and see where you stand.

  • Done in 2 minutes
  • Outcome explained per condition
  • Free and without obligation

This is an indication only, not tax advice. Rules can change. For certainty, check with the Dutch Tax Administration or your adviser.

What the check tests

The questions follow the conditions the Dutch Tax Administration sets for reclaiming VAT on a home battery.

Trading power

Your battery buys power when it is cheap and feeds back for a payment. That makes you an entrepreneur for VAT purposes.

EMS and dynamic contract

The battery has an energy management system and you have an energy contract with hourly prices. Without those two there is nothing to trade.

Everything in the same name

The battery invoice and the energy contract are in the name of the person reclaiming the VAT.

No KOR at purchase

If you take part in the small business scheme, you deregister first. That takes effect at the start of a quarter and processing takes 4 weeks.

The full conditions are on the Tax Administration page Thuisbatterij en btw (Dutch). Background, the step-by-step plan and the worked example are in our guide reclaiming VAT on a home battery.

After the check

The check is step zero. This is what happens next.

  1. 1

    Outcome and quote

    You see where you stand straight away. If you want to proceed, you get a quote for a battery that can trade smartly, with the invoice in the right name.

  2. 2

    Planning that fits

    If you are in the KOR, we align the installation so your deregistration is done before the invoice date. Buy too early and the full deduction lapses.

  3. 3

    Filing with the Tax Administration

    The refund itself is arranged in your VAT return. We do not give tax advice; for that we refer you to the Tax Administration or your adviser.
