Gifting & Inheritance

Saving on gift and inheritance tax with photovoltaic systems

Saving on gift and inheritance tax with solar panels

Michael Rehberger4 minute read

Do you want to protect your assets sensibly and ensure that your descendants benefit from them? Particularly in the case of larger estates, tax allowances are quickly exhausted, and high gift or inheritance taxes place a significant burden on the inheritance. However, there is a little-known but highly attractive solution: investing in solar power systems. As well as providing a secure, long-term source of income, these systems offer an interesting way to pass on these assets without incurring any tax liability. This also applies to gifts made to people with whom you are not related.

Challenge: Gift and inheritance tax on substantial estates

The tax-free allowances for gifts and inheritances are set by law and are often used up quickly. Exceeding these allowances can then result in tax bills that are, in some cases, substantial. For many families, this represents a heavy financial burden and, in some cases, even necessitates the sale of assets to meet the tax liabilities.

A photovoltaic system offers a clever alternative here: as a tangible asset with stable returns and a government feed-in tariff, it can not only safeguard your wealth but also allow you to avoid paying tax entirely when passing it on.

One little-known option is the purchase of photovoltaic systems

Photovoltaic systems are not only a sustainable investment, but also offer significant tax benefits. After just a few years, these systems can be passed on to descendants without incurring gift or inheritance tax.

The benefits at a glance:

  • A high-yielding tangible asset: Photovoltaic systems offer a feed-in tariff guaranteed by law for 20 years and thus provide a secure source of income.
  • Tax optimisation: The IAB investment allowance offers the opportunity to claim substantial tax refunds, and the assets can be transferred tax-free just a few years after acquisition.
  • Retention of value: Owing to the relevant legislation and the long service life of PV systems, photovoltaic systems retain their value over the long term.

A 20-year government revenue guarantee for a predictable investment

One of the most attractive features of photovoltaic systems is the feed-in tariff guaranteed by law for a period of 20 years. This means that stable and predictable minimum income is generated over two decades. This predictability makes photovoltaic systems one of the safest investments on the market.

Compared with traditional investments such as property or shares, solar power systems offer further advantages:

  • Reduced administrative burden: Once installed, a photovoltaic system requires little ongoing care or maintenance.
  • Sustainable returns: An investment in the future that actively contributes to the energy transition.

Why now, of all times?

The market for renewable energy continues to grow steadily. Thanks to government subsidies and feed-in tariffs guaranteed by law, photovoltaic systems currently offer exceptionally attractive terms. However, such conditions are subject to change. That is why now is a good time to take advantage of the current benefits whilst structuring your assets in a tax-optimised manner.
