Tax benefits for lighting in the company


led lights
Our guide on tax deductions for the purchase of LED lighting has clarified many aspects concerning incentives on new plants and latest generation lamps in contexts such as private homes and condominiums but has perhaps instilled doubt in the public of entrepreneurs and freelancers who run a business and want to invest in more performing lighting systems. What are the tax benefits for companies? Who has the right to do so and exactly what is due? And again: how to access these precious resources? In order to respond in great detail, we decided to write a second guide that could support the first one dedicated to private individuals, with the aim of helping managers, managers, and consultants to orient themselves in the choice of available tax breaks and obtain the maximum possible savings (also) from our products. To begin with, we divide the opportunities existing in Italy to the day of

·        Tax benefits for LEDs in the company with white certificates.
·        Tax benefits for LEDs in the company with 65%.
·        Tax benefits for LEDs in hotels with the "hotel bonus"
OPTION 1) WHITE CERTIFICATES OR ENERGY EFFICIENCY TITLES
The white certificates or Energy Efficiency Certificates (TEE), if you prefer, represent the most known form of incentive to companies for investments in energy efficiency. Investments can include the heating system as well as the lighting system. According to the EEN 09/11 Guidelines of the Authority for electricity the gas, the lighting intervention categories include four main areas:

1. Public lighting, new realizations (IPUB-NEW): new efficient plants or complete remaking of the existing ones
2. Public lighting, new realizations (IPUB-RET): application of devices to improve the efficiency of existing plants (retrofit)
3. Private lighting, new realizations (IPRIV-NEW): new efficient plants or complete redesign of existing plants
4. Private lighting, new constructions (IPRIV-RET): application of devices to improve the efficiency of existing plants.
We highlight the points that interest companies. The lowest common denominator is the savings achieved: the higher this is, the greater the number of white certificates that are obtained. The unit of measure, in this case, is the TEP (Oil Equivalent Ton) corresponding to approximately 5,300 kWh of electricity, 11,700 kWh of heat and 1,200 cubic meters of natural gas. The equivalence is soon made:

option 1) White Certificate = 100 euros on average (economic value)


If we reduce consumption by over 53,000 kWh, just to give a concrete example, every year for the first 5 years we will get a saving of 1,000 euros, which will be added to the cutting of the bill guaranteed by the LED and the reduction of maintenance costs. The company will then decide whether to resell the securities and mature the credit immediately or keep them aside in case of need. Consultancy from an ESCo company (Energy Service Company) or a qualified energy manager is essential to quantify the reduction of bills in the bill upstream and downstream of the intervention, a reduction that can be obtained in various ways, both by replacing old light bulbs and light sources and by installing systems cogeneration, state-of-the-art motors, inverters, new air conditioning systems and so on. We recommend the advantageous LED Strips with high brightness and efficiency!

OPTION 2) ECOBONUS 65% FOR BUILDING RENOVATION

2018 Stability Law has confirmed for another year the so-called "Eco-bonus" for the energy requalification of a building, for which the income tax deduction at 65% and 50% remains valid. The system is rather cumbersome and deserves a separate guide, we just say that the replacement of obsolete lighting systems for the company, the laboratory or the building is part of the energy redevelopment measures and therefore enjoys, under certain conditions, the 'eco-bonus. ATTENTION because the installation of the LED must be accompanied by other interventions, up to a maximum cost of 100,000 euros. Specifically, the Eco-bonus 2017 expense ceiling, regardless of the cadastral category of existing buildings is equal to:

·        100,000 euros for energy upgrading of existing buildings (including installation of LEDs and related masonry works)
·        60,000 euros for existing buildings, such as work on walls, windows, and windows
·        60,000 euros for installation of solar panels
·        30,000 euros for replacement of winter air conditioning systems
With regards to those entitled, we list the list only for the part of entrepreneurs, professionals, artisans and other subjects:

·        VAT number holders for arts and professions
·        Taxpayers with business income: therefore individuals, partnerships, corporations
·        Associations of professionals
·        Public and private bodies that do not carry out commercial activities
Also in this case the advice of a qualified external partner appears as the only way to move with knowledge of the facts.

Welcome led light bulbs and goodbye halogen bulbs.

Image
the production of most halogen lamps and bulbs ceased in the European Union: they represented the vanguard of energy efficiency when energy-efficient incandescent bulbs were used, which are now forbidden for years, but now have switched to the rearguard and are expected to be replaced by LED light bulbs , which stands for Light Emitting Diode. Lamps and LED bulbs, with the same yield, consume much less energy than halogen lamps. According to the European Commission, the elimination of halogens and the use of more efficient light bulbs will save by 2025 an amount of energy equal to that consumed by Portugal in a year. THE ADVANTAGES Energy efficiency, or doing the same things while consuming less energy, is very important for the portfolio and the environment: in fact, we have obtained that the EU considers it the same as energy infrastructure. It means that from now on, before building - say - a pipeline, we need to assess whether there is an alternative based on energy e...

LED lights. What they are and how they work.

Image
The LED is an electronic component that, when a minimum current passes, emits a light without infrared and ultraviolet rays, lighting immediately. LED (Light-Emitting Diodes) technology represents the evolution of solid-state lighting, in which the generation of light is obtained by semiconductors instead of using a filament or a gas. The LED lighting is more energy efficient, has a longer life and is more sustainable. It also enables innovative and creative usage solutions that integrate light into our homes, cars, stores, and cities. LEDs are destined, over time, to replace traditional incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps. Energy saving Thanks to the high illumination characteristic of the lamps and LED bulbs, it is possible to replace with them also the fluorescent lamps (compact or neon) with equivalent to LEDs that consume much less energy, that is power (in watts) decidedly lower, achieving significant economic savings. For example, it is possible to replace a ...
