At a glance: BDI’s key messages on energy taxation

▪ Carbon-neutrally produced energy sources should be exempted and

not subject to energy taxes and carbon prices

▪ Reduce electricity tax in Germany to the EU minimum tax rate

▪ Avoid distortions of competition for European air and sea transport

through European stand-alone solution

▪ Mineralogical processes should again be exempted from the application

of the directive.

▪ Maintain the tax cap ("Spitzenausgleich") for energy intensive

businesses

Notice:

▪ A final evaluation and assessment of all legislative proposals of the Fit-ForImprint 55 package by BDI is scheduled for August/September. This will involve a detailed evaluation of the Energy Taxation Directive in the context of the overall package and, if necessary, an adjustment of the content.
