Tax questions clearly answered
How do I apply for the 6% VAT rate?
You do not need to fill out complex forms. NRGEA includes the mandatory legal clause directly on your invoice and verifies the age of your property in the land registry.
Can I combine Mijn VerbouwPremie with the 6% VAT rate?
That depends on your situation and the current grant landscape. The reduced VAT rate is a federal tax incentive; for grants, NRGEA assesses your file and guides the application. This way you combine both to the maximum.
What if my home is less than 10 years old?
For homes under 10 years old, 21% VAT normally applies. However, with the NRGEA zero-investment formula, you only pay a low, fixed rate per generated kWh, avoiding heavy upfront VAT expenses.
How does property tax exemption work after E-level reduction?
Once works are finished, a certified energy expert issues the official EPB certificate. The Flemish Tax Authority automatically applies the discount to your annual property tax bill.
Does NRGEA help with grant applications?
Yes. Our team compiles all required technical datasheets, inspection certificates, and installation records, guiding you step-by-step through the government portal.
