Help with installing a charging point for private individuals: the tax credit
Le Tax credits for the energy transitionis an amount deducted from your tax bill, allowing you to reduce your tax bill by installing a charging point for your home individual. It was set up with the help of MaPrimeRenov'to replace the CITE (Tax Credit for Ecological Transition).
The credit will be granted for just one charging system per tax household. In this case, you will be entitled to a maximum of €500 in tax credit, with one system installed in your main residence and another in your second home.
Single, divorced or widowed people can benefit from the tax credit for installing two charging systems, one in their main home and another in a second home.
Similarly, married or civil union couples subject to joint taxation can claim the tax credit for two charging systems in their main home and two in their second home, giving a total tax credit of up to €1,200 for the installation of two charging systems per home. It should be noted, however, that this measure is subject to certain conditions and that supporting documents must be provided to qualify for the tax credit.
It's important to note that the authorities may take back the tax credit you were awarded if you were reimbursed for the installation of the charging point within five years of installation. However, no repayment will be made if the repayment is the result of a claim.
Tax credit: connected bollards, intelligent bollards or controlled bollards
The amount of the tax credit for the installation of an electric vehicle charging point is :
- 500 per charging system for a connected charging point
- 300 per charging system for a non-connected charging point, with or without load shedding
The difference in price between the two types of terminal is due to the additional functions offered by connected terminals.
To qualify for the tax credit, the following conditions must be met:
- Expenditure must be incurred between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2025.
- The charging point must be installed on land or a building owned, leased or occupied free of charge by the taxpayer.
- The charging point must be used to charge an electric vehicle.
The tax credit is deducted from income tax for the year in which the expenditure is incurred. If the tax credit exceeds the tax due, the excess can be carried forward for up to five years.
To claim the tax credit, taxpayers must complete form 2042-RICI and attach it to their tax return.
Good to know: keep your supporting documents, as the tax authorities may ask for them (invoice from the company that supplied the materials/equipment and carried out the work).
