Amendment motion to the Energy Tax Act and the Electricity Tax Act

Electricity tax is to be reduced to the legally permitted minimum: €0.50 per megawatt-hour for business use and €1.00 per megawatt-hour for private use. Because many existing special rules and exemptions would become unnecessary with these low basic rates, they are to be removed. This simplifies tax law and reduces the burden on both companies and authorities. All electricity consumers benefit from the reduction.
