Landlord’s Input Tax Deduction for Supplying Electricity to Tenants

  • Landlord who rents out property tax-free can claim input tax from supplying self-generated electricity to tenants
  • Supplying electricity is a separate taxable service, not a subsidiary service of tax-free renting
  • According to § 42a Abs. 2 EnWG, there is a prohibition on linking rental and energy supply contracts
  • If there is a violation of § 42a EnWG, the electricity supply contract is void
