Reducing gas, coal and energy costs through excise tax

Savings and improved ‘cash flow’ through the use of excise exemptions.

High prices of natural gas, coal, or electricity prompt entrepreneurs to seek savings on these expenses.

These savings can translate into the competitiveness of businesses, improved cash-flow and often accelerate their growth.

Cost reduction will be particularly crucial for entities where energy consumption and its costs constitute significant operating expenses, especially among the so-called energy-intensive entities.

One form of savings can be achieved through excise tax on purchased electricity, coal or gas. This is possible through the use of excise exemptions on purchased products.

The application of excise exemptions as a form of savings should be preceded by a detailed tax review of excise tax, tailored to the unique characteristics of the business.

It’s worth noting that for particular groups of businesses, excise tax savings may mean the need to fulfil other obligations/formalities in the field of excise tax.
