Save Up To 14% With The MIA/VAMIL Scheme
In the Netherlands, a wave of sustainability and environmental consciousness is transforming the business landscape. Entrepreneurs are increasingly seeking ways to contribute to a greener planet while also finding financial incentives to support their eco-friendly initiatives.
The Aquablu REFILL+ is a sustainable and cost effective solution that also offers significant tax benefits under the MIA\VAMIL scheme. Read on to find out how Dutch entrepreneurs can make the most of this golden opportunity.
Embrace Sustainability With Financial Incentives Via MIA/VAMIL
The Dutch government, recognizing the need to support sustainable practices among businesses, has introduced the MIA\VAMIL scheme. This initiative is designed for entrepreneurs who are subject to income tax or corporate tax, allowing them to write off a substantial portion of their investment in environmentally friendly solutions. The REFILL and REFILL+ water dispensers from Aquablu are prime examples of such investments.

WHAT IS MIA/VAMIL?
MIA\VAMIL stands for “Milieu Investeringsaftrek\Vamilijke Afschrijving Milieu-investeringen”, or Environmental Investment Allowance and Arbitrary Depreciation of Environmental Investments. These schemes offer a liquidity or interest advantage, enabling businesses to pay less tax by investing in sustainable technologies.
Why REFILL+ Eligible For Asset Code F1307
Aquablu’s REFILL+ system aligns with the criteria of asset code F 1307 (tap system for water and soft drinks), as listed in the environmental list. This system aims at reducing the packaging of ready-to-drink beverages and transport movements, offering significant environmental benefits. By choosing the REFILL+ system, businesses not only reduce their carbon footprint; they can also enjoy financial savings of up to 14%.
How Do You Apply for MIA/VAMIL For The REFILL+?
To tap into the benefits of MIA\VAMIL, businesses need to meet specific criteria under code F 1307. This includes submitting a copy of the order confirmation, a detailed explanation of the investment, and evidence that the REFILL+ system contributes to reducing packaging and transport movements.

FAQ
01
What is the tax benefit for sustainable investments in the Netherlands?
The tax benefit for sustainable investments means companies can claim additional fiscal deductions when investing in environmentally friendly business assets. Through schemes like MIA/VAMIL, businesses can deduct a larger share of their investment or apply accelerated depreciation. This lowers taxable profit and can significantly reduce the net investment cost.
02
Which subsidies are available in 2025 for business sustainability?
In 2025, businesses can take advantage of MIA/VAMIL, EIA, and various sector-specific subsidy schemes for sustainable technology. Exact conditions vary by scheme and investment type. Solutions like the Aquablu REFILL+ may qualify under specific activity codes, provided they meet the requirements of the Environmental List (Milieulijst).
03
How can I pay less tax by investing in sustainable office solutions?
By investing in sustainable business assets listed on the Environmental List (Milieulijst), you can apply additional deductions or accelerated depreciation through MIA/VAMIL. This lowers your taxable profit and improves liquidity. For offices, this means investments in packaging-reducing systems, such as a bottle-free water solution like REFILL+, can deliver both ecological and fiscal benefits.
