BE-X series
Anyone buying a forklift this year can stack multiple tax benefits—but the schemes have deadlines, budget ceilings, and a crucial investment timing. This is the state of affairs in August 2026.
The small-scale investment tax credit applies to virtually every forklift investment above the threshold — both new and used. The investment moment (the commitment date, usually the order date) determines the tax year: ordering in 2026 = deduction in 2026. You can find the current thresholds and percentages at the Tax and Customs Administration; your accountant will calculate exactly how the deduction works — see also depreciate forklift.
Electric forklifts are often eligible for the environmental investment deduction and accelerated depreciation—which together can quickly amount to thousands of euros in net savings on top of the KIA. Please note: the notification must be submitted within three months of entering into the commitment. The regulation and the Environmental List can be found at the RVO. We include the documentation as standard — see the MIA/Vamil explanation.
Construction companies can receive a purchase subsidy for zero-emission equipment through the SSEB program. The current application rounds and conditions are listed at the RVO (SSEB). The budgets have caps and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis—if you wait until December, you might miss out. Relevant for electric forklifts on construction sites: read the emission-free construction site.
For tax deductions in 2026, the commitment date is what counts—but for the Vamil benefit, the down payment and the date of first use may also be factors. And from a practical standpoint: delivery times as the year-end approaches. If you order in Q3, both the tax process and delivery will be comfortably completed before December 31. Starting in September, the 180B-X up to 18 metric tons with as an electric option for heavy work.

Within three months of entering into the investment commitment (the order date). Reporting too late means losing the benefit.
The commitment date counts for the year — but for the entire process (notification, payment, delivery), ordering earlier is safer. Q3 is the comfortable moment.
