Investing in a Greenwall means investing in an environmentally friendly measure to combat noise pollution. The government rewards these investments with a very attractive tax incentive, the MIA/VAMIL program. Under this program, up to 36% can be claimed as an additional deduction in (business) accounting records.

Through the MIA and Vamil programs, the government aims to make environmentally friendly investments even more attractive to businesses. These programs are of interest to entities investing in the agricultural sector, sustainable transportation, sustainable recreation, and sustainable buildings.

To be eligible for this deduction, the business owner must invest in business assets listed on the environmental list. Greenwall is listed under code G6422 as a “vertical greening system for reducing noise pollution.”
