Objective of the funding programme

MIA and Vamil are Dutch tax incentive schemes that encourage entrepreneurs to invest in environmentally friendly and innovative technologies. The schemes lower the financial barrier for green investments through tax deductions and accelerated depreciation. The Environment List 2025 includes approximately 243 categories covering sustainable buildings and climate-adaptive construction, agriculture and fisheries, clean transport and vehicles, emission reduction, ecosystems and biodiversity, circular economy, and energy efficiency and renewable energy systems.

Tax schemes

Funding rate (percentage of covered costs)

The funding rate varies by scheme. MIA provides a tax deduction of up to 45% of investment costs, while Vamil allows 75% arbitrary depreciation. The combined tax advantage can exceed 14% of the total investment, though the actual benefit depends on the investor’s tax bracket and timing of the deductions. The 2025 budget totals €209 million (€189 million for MIA and €20 million for Vamil), supporting the implementation of proven environmental technologies that are ahead of the market but not yet widely adopted.
