Field help: Street and house number

Enter the street and house number of the property for which energy efficiency measures were carried out in accordance with sect. 35c para. 1 of the Income Tax Act (EStG).

Within the framework of the Federal Government's Climate Protection Programme, the Federal Ministry of Finance promotes the following energy measures (sect. 35c para. 1 Income Tax Act (EStG)):

  • Thermal insulation of walls,
  • Thermal insulation of roof surfaces,
  • Thermal insulation of storey ceilings,
  • Renewal of windows or external doors,
  • Renewal or installation of a ventilation system,
  • Renewal of the heating system,
  • Installation of digital systems for optimising energy operation/consumption
  • Optimisation of existing heating systems, provided they are older than two years.

Tip: Since 2021, "summer thermal insulation" has also been eligible for subsidies. This is somewhat hidden in Annex 4a of the ESanMV. It specifically states: "Funding is provided for the replacement or first-time installation of external sun protection devices with optimised daylight supply, for example, via light control systems or radiation-dependent control. The requirements of DIN 4108-2:2013-02 for minimum summer heat protection must be met."

The prerequisite for the tax reduction is that the beneficiary property is older than ten years at the start of the energy-efficiency measures.

If you are applying for tax reduction for more than one property, enter the data for each property separately.

As proof, please submit the certificate(s) from the specialist company carrying out the work in accordance with sect. 21 of the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV).
