Steuerbefreiung für das Aufladen von Elektrofahrzeugen beim Arbeitgeber
Income tax law modification for charging electric vehicles at the workplace
Artikkel
Beskrivelse
In Germany, charging electric vehicles at the workplace is not deemed a taxable benefit in kind. Therefore, employees who use the charging infrastructure and charge for free at the workplace will not have to pay taxes and security contributions on that advantage. Charging infrastructure of the employer temporary given to the employee is also not classified as a taxable benefit. Free charging infrastructure that becomes the property of the employee will be taxed at a flat-rate tax of 25%. The same tax rate may be applied for subsidies for charging infrastructure granted by employers.

In order to speed up developments on the market for electric mobility, the federal government adopted a package of measures on 18 May 2016 containing investments of close to €1 billion. In 2020, a new electric mobility package of €6.2 billion was introduced (1/3 of which financed by the automotive industry). By July 2021, the government spent about €2.1 billion in subsidies for 530,000 electric (or hybrid) vehicles. Specific figures for workplace charging infrastructure are not available.
