VAT changes
The last Council of Ministers last year approved an increase in the VAT rate on electricity from 5% to 10% and maintaining this rate until the end of 2024, subject to maintaining MWh prices on the wholesale market. high, above 45 euro/MWh.
In particular, VAT will become 21% if the wholesale price is below this level in the calendar month preceding the last day of invoice. That is, all bills that include consumption for at least one day in March will have VAT of 21%. Only households receiving the social bonus are exempt from this increase, as their VAT will remain at 10% through 2024.
Calculation method
It should be remembered that the “pool” does not quite represent the final amount of the electricity price for the consumer subject to the regulated tariff, since with the advent of 2024, a new method of calculating PVPC has been adopted, which includes a basket of medium and long-term prices to avoid large fluctuations, without losing short-term price targets that promote savings and efficient consumption.
Thus, the share of the pool price link will be gradually reduced to include links to futures markets, so that they will be 25% in 2024, 40% in 2025 and 55% starting in 2026.
