Is Your Company Truly Sustainable?

Is Your Company Truly Sustainable? Publicado: 05-03-2025

Corporate sustainability is no longer an option but a necessity. In Spain, companies must strike a balance between profitability and compliance with tax regulations aimed at environmental protection. But how do environmental taxes impact your company`s financial structure?

What Are Environmental Taxes?

Environmental taxes are levies designed by the European Union to reduce climate change impacts and promote the efficient use of natural resources, energy, and eco-friendly transport systems.

New Waste Tax in Spain (2025)

Starting in 2025, the Spanish Government will introduce a new waste tax affecting property owners in municipalities with more than 5,000 inhabitants. This tax, ranging from €50 to €150 per year, aims to enhance urban waste management and meet EU environmental standards.

How Do Environmental Taxes Affect Businesses?

Environmental tax costs can have a greater impact on industries such as transportation and heavy industry, which rely on energy-intensive processes or polluting materials. However, they also affect investment firms and other business sectors.

Tax Deductions for Sustainable Companies

There are strategies to optimize the tax burden through corporate tax deductions, including:

  • Environmental protection investments: Equipment to reduce water pollution, eligible for a 10 percent tax deduction.
  • Renewable energy investments: Acquisition of assets for renewable energy use, such as biofuel processing equipment, with a 10 percent tax deduction.
  • Sustainable transport: New industrial or commercial vehicles for road transport, qualifying for a 10 percent tax deduction.

Benefits of a Sustainable Tax Strategy

Beyond regulatory compliance, integrating a sustainable tax strategy allows businesses to:

  • Reduce their tax burden.
  • Improve competitiveness and reputation.
  • Mitigate financial and regulatory risks.
  • Seize investment and growth opportunities.
