Energy efficiency tax deduction requires a certificate issued before works begin

A taxpayer inquired whether they could claim the tax deduction for replacing gas heating with aerothermal systems without a prior energy certificate. The Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) ruled that this is not possible, as regulations require proof of improvement based on a certificate issued before the commencement of the works.

The question raised

Question posed: Possibility of applying the deduction for works to improve energy efficiency in dwellings as provided for in the 50th additional provision of the LIRPF.

The DGT's ruling

To apply the deductions set forth in the 50th additional provision of the LIRPF, it is necessary to prove the improvement in efficiency through an energy efficiency certificate issued after the works in comparison to one issued before the commencement of the same. The regulations allow the use of prior certificates provided that no more than two years have elapsed between their issuance and the commencement of the works. As the taxpayer does not possess a prior certificate within that period, they cannot prove compliance with the requirements.
