Landlords in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Berlin and Thuringia in particular will have to expect high CO2 taxes from 2023. This is according to a study by digital real estate manager objego. According to the study, 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 will be subject to a CO2 tax of up to 270 euros. The landlord will pay 243 euros of this. 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 a property with the best energy efficiency class A+, for example, no taxes are due.
In Hamburg, only 12.5 percent of properties fall into the energy efficiency classes G and H, meaning that landlords there get off the cheapest in this respect 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 contributions for an average-sized apartment of 92 square meters with oil heating based on the energy efficiency classes.
