Especially in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Berlin and Thuringia, landlords will have to reckon with high CO2 taxes from 2023. This is the result of a study by the digital real estate manager objego. According to this, 41.8 percent of residential buildings in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania had the worst energy efficiency classes G and H in 2021, 38.7 percent in Berlin and 35.5 percent in Thuringia.
From 2023, an average unrenovated apartment of 92 square meters with oil heating would be subject to a CO2 tax of up to 270 euros. Of this, 243 euros will fall to the landlord. The tenant would have to pay the remaining 10 percent, in this case 27 euros. The rule is: the lower the CO2 emissions, the less CO2 tax the landlord has to pay. For example, no taxes are due for a property with the best energy efficiency class A+.
In Hamburg, only 12.5 percent of properties fall into energy efficiency classes G and H, so landlords there get off cheapest in this regard compared to the other federal states. objego also shows the distribution of energy efficiency classes by federal state in a chart and breaks down the CO2 tax levies for an average-sized apartment of 92 square meters with oil heating based on the energy efficiency classes.
