As a self-employed entrepreneur, making smart investments is key. At Revolt Bikes, we offer not only high-quality foldable e-bikes made from carbon and aluminum but also provide insight into how you can purchase these bikes affordably. By taking advantage of various subsidy schemes, you, as a freelancer, can save significantly on your investment in a sustainable company e-bike. Below, we explain three important subsidy programs, allowing you to fully benefit from the available tax advantages.
KIA, MIA, and Vamil: Three Opportunities to Save
As a self-employed professional in the Netherlands, you can benefit from the KIA, MIA, and Vamil schemes, which offer substantial savings on the purchase of an electric bike for business use. These schemes are designed to encourage environmentally friendly investments, so you not only contribute to a cleaner planet but also enjoy tax benefits. On average, these savings can amount to as much as 35% compared to purchasing an e-bike privately.
Small-Scale Investment Allowance (KIA)
The Small-Scale Investment Allowance (KIA) allows you to deduct a percentage of your investment from your taxable income. This applies to investments ranging from €2,601 to €353,973, with each individual investment needing to be at least €450 excluding VAT.
For example, when you invest in a foldable e-bike from Revolt Bikes, you can deduct up to 28% of your investment. This lowers your taxable income, allowing you to pay less income tax. The KIA scheme is a great advantage for freelancers. Read more about the KIA on the website of De Zaak.
Environmental Investment Allowance (MIA)
The Environmental Investment Allowance (MIA) offers an additional tax benefit for entrepreneurs who invest in eco-friendly business assets, such as an electric bike. With the MIA, you can deduct up to 45% of the investment amount from your taxable profit, in addition to the regular investment deductions. This scheme is designed to promote sustainable investments and can also be used for your Revolt e-bike. Read more about the MIA on the website of the Tax Authority or do the environmental test to see for yourself on Milieu Centraal.
Random Depreciation of Environmental Investments (Vamil)
The Random Depreciation of Environmental Investments (Vamil) scheme allows you to decide when to write off the cost of your e-bike. Normally, a company bike is depreciated over five years, but with the Vamil, you can choose when and how much to write off. This can help you save on taxes by writing off more in a profitable year. The Vamil scheme can be combined with the MIA. Read more about Vamil on the website of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).
