Those investing in zero-emission equipment often look to the SSEB subsidy first. Understandably so, as this scheme has helped many companies switch to electric equipment in recent years. But did you know that, in addition to the SSEB, other financial benefits may be available when you invest in an electric excavator , Fieldmaster DC fast charger, or Powerbox battery pack? Depending on the investment and your company's tax situation, schemes such as the EIA and MIA may also be of interest.

The Clean and Zero-Emission Construction Equipment Subsidy Scheme (SSEB) is intended to encourage the use of zero-emission construction equipment. For many companies, this scheme provides important support for the purchase of an electric machine.
If an investment does not fall within the SSEB scheme, or does not fall fully within it, other tax schemes may apply.
For battery systems, such as Staad's Powerbox battery packs, the Energy Investment Allowance (EIA) can be beneficial. Under certain conditions, this scheme offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to deduct a portion of the investment for tax purposes.
For electric machines, the Environmental Investment Deduction (MIA) may be an option in certain situations.
The important difference compared to a subsidy is that these schemes do not involve a direct payment. The benefit is processed through the company's taxable profit.
That is precisely why it is important not to look solely at percentages. The ultimate benefit depends on, among other things:
The form of enterprise;
The operating result;
The tax position of the company;
The specific investment;
The conditions applicable at that time.
A scheme that is attractive to one company is not automatically so for another.
The world of subsidies and tax schemes is constantly changing. Budgets are adjusted, conditions are modified, and schemes can change during the year.
Therefore, we always advise discussing investment plans with a tax specialist, accountant, or subsidy advisor in a timely manner. They can assess which options apply to your specific situation.
Are you considering an investment in an electric earthmoving machine , a DC fast charger, or a Powerbox battery pack ? We would be happy to discuss the technical possibilities with you.
In addition, we can put you in touch with specialists who can advise on available subsidy schemes and tax benefits. You can also contact your own tax advisor and initiate a discussion with us from there, as this will clarify in advance whether there are still possibilities.
