New Regulations for small solar systems show effect
The bureaucracy reduction initiative for small Photovoltaic systemswhich will be launched in 2022 by the states of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Schleswig-Holstein and Hesse in the Federal Council is already showing positive effects. The joint application has resulted in operators of small solar systems having to overcome fewer bureaucratic hurdles, which promotes both climate protection and the energy transition.
In Hesse alone, several thousand operators decided in 2023 to no longer register their new photovoltaic systems with the tax office, which also means that no tax returns had to be submitted. This bureaucratic relief step has led to more citizens being encouraged to participate in the construction of solar systems.
Changes due to the Annual Tax Act 2022
The changes in the 2022 Annual Tax Act have significantly simplified the tax treatment of small photovoltaic systems. A tax exemption on income tax has been in effect since 2022, and a zero tax rate for sales tax has even been introduced from 2023. This makes the purchase and operation of solar systems more financially attractive and creates an incentive for the population to switch more to renewable energies.
Debureaucratization in the fight against climate change
The Minister for Debureaucratization, Manfred Pentz, stresses the importance of reducing bureaucracy in connection with major social goals such as climate protection. bureaucracy More citizens can be encouraged to take active measures against climate change. This is also shown by the fact that the first successes of these debureaucratisation measures are already noticeable.
