Everything about taxes when you sell your used photovoltaic system
When you sell a solar system, this sale is usually subject to taxation. The taxation of the sale of your photovoltaic system depends on the legal form of your company.
Corporations must pay both corporate tax and trade tax when they sell a photovoltaic system. When a partnership wants to sell a PV system, income tax and trade tax are due.
In general, you must expect higher taxes the higher your profit is. The profit results from the sales price minus the remaining book value of the PV system and the selling costs. If you are not selling a PV project but a used photovoltaic system, no sales tax is due if the existing electricity feed-in contract is taken over by the buyer. However, these are individual agreements that should be explicitly clarified in negotiations and then contractually recorded.
To get an exact overview of the taxes you have to pay when you sell your PV system, it is advisable to consult a tax advisor before the sale. They can usually answer all questions on this topic.
