Energy and electricity tax law

Energy and electricity tax are consumption taxes regulated by federal law. The Electricity Tax Act (StromStG) and the Energy Tax Act (EnergieStG) as well as ordinances based on them contain numerous complex tax benefits that are granted as tax exemptions, tax reductions or subsequent tax relief.

We advise on both electricity and gas supply and energy trading that originate from sustainable production. In addition to the examination of the accrual or exemptions, the focus is on communication with the main customs offices.
