Consumers with smart home batteries connected to a dynamic energy contract may be eligible for a VAT refund, according to tax lawyer Romano Hagen. To qualify, consumers must engage in trading on the energy market and have a dynamic energy contract. This can result in a reduced payback period for the home battery, allowing homeowners to benefit from energy storage. Hagen emphasizes that smart trading with a home battery, such as purchasing when prices are low and selling when prices are high, can potentially lead to VAT refunds for Dutch consumers.
