CO2 tax regulations and their effects

In another current topic, the discussion about the CO2 costs that affect tenants and landlords is in full swing. Anyone who lives in an apartment with their own gas heating should be careful: tenants can claim back part of the CO2 costs that they pay to their landlord. To do this, they have to enter the values ​​of their apartment into a CO2 cost calculator to determine what share the landlord will cover. Once this amount has been determined, tenants have up to one year to demand reimbursement from their landlord. A sample letter can help here, which can be submitted together with the gas bill. This regulation has been in effect since 2023 and affects all new billing periods.

The Federal Ministry of Economics explains that the distribution of carbon dioxide costs is based on the energy quality of the building. Better building standards therefore lead to lower costs for landlords and higher costs for tenants. The annual CO2 emissions are determined and used to assess the quality of the building. Specific emission factors apply for 2025: Natural gas emits 0.20088 kg CO2 per kWh, while heating oil emits 0.2664 kg CO2 per kWh.

CO2 costs will continue to rise in the next few years, climbing to 55 euros per ton in 2025. This makes it all the more important for tenants who are asked to pay on their utility bill to understand their own situation well and to use all options to claim back. Therefore, information such as that found in the guides from Financial tip can be found, are of considerable value for many households.

With all this information, expectant parents will be well prepared for the challenges ahead in obstetric care and tenants will be well prepared for the CO2 costs. Whether it's about the best family event or about saving money on heating costs - good preparation is everything!
