Activities in connection with the installation of photovoltaic or solar panels or e-charging stations are generally classified as commercial activities. Corporate structures that are optimised in terms of income tax and VAT and draw on tax relief and benefits can promote the expansion of renewable energies. This presents new tax issues for many companies in the real estate, energy and power supply industries, as well as tax-privileged corporations or asset management companies.
