Since the 11th of March 2021, new legal requirements have applied for installing charging points in car parks of buildings. Specifically, they apply to buildings for which an environmental permit have been required for new construction or major renovation since 11 March.
Private individuals – both renters and owners – who purchase a charging station between 1 September and 31 December 2022 can benefit from a tax reduction of 45 %. That rate will be reduced to 30 per cent in 2023 and to 15 per cent in 2024. The amount for which a fiscal advantage applies and on which it is calculated comes down to up to € 1,500.00 per charging station and per taxpayer. The charging stations must, however, meet certain technological and ecological requirements. For example, the charging station must be able to control the charging time and power and must be able to run on green electricity – a “smartcharger” as it were.
The obligations apply to buildings for which an environmental permit has been required since 11 March 2021. The building owner or permit holder is responsible for complying with them.
Companies that invest in a charging station between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2024 can count on an increased cost deduction. For investments made between 1 September 2021 and 31 December 2022, a deduction percentage of 200 % applies. Between 1 January 2023 and 31 August 2024, that percentage drops to 150 %. At agreed times of the day – during working hours or after – the charging station must also be accessible to third parties.
From 2025, it will be compulsory to install charging points in the car parks of certain existing buildings. These obligations stem from the European directive on the energy performance of buildings. From 2026, emission-free company cars must become the norm in Belgium.

These obligations also apply to renovation houses that have more than ten parking places.
