Sustainability tax services 

Multinational companies that are expanding, relocating, investing in green facilities, or making capital expenditures may be entitled to tax incentives and credits in various locations. Capitalizing on these incentives and credits may significantly increase your return on investment specific to your sustainability program. KPMG’s energy sustainability tax professionals can assist you to leverage these tax benefits worldwide.

Our teams of tax professionals assist with selecting the site, structuring the investments and securing incentives – employment and investment tax credits, sales and use tax exemptions, property tax abatements, training grants, utility cost reduction, green incentives, and rebates and capital investment grants.


As an example, consider a multinational corporation planning investments in its manufacturing facilities worldwide. KPMG can assist by helping navigate the various jurisdictions’ requirements, regulations, and incentives in light of the planned investments. With KPMG’s assistance, the company is able to make sound investment decisions and help increase its return on investment, versus forgoing a project in a certain jurisdiction because tax was not evaluated and minimum ROI thresholds were not met.

Energy and Sustainability Tax Services

KPMG can help you leverage tax benefits whether you are expanding, relocating, investing in green facilities, or making capital expenditures.

Sample incentives and credits to consider include:


  • In the U.S., tax credits specific to investments in renewable energy equipment, such as combined heat and power property, R&D credits and deductions, and fixed asset related benefits are available.
  • In Canada, an accelerated capital cost allowance and R&D credit is available.
  • In the Netherlands, investments in energy saving equipment may be entitled to an energy investment allowance.

If your organization has or is planning a sustainability program, is seeking to reduce the cost of energy, sustainability investments must be considered. The complex legislation of many jurisdictions creates a formidable array of regulatory hurdles and business risks that should be identified and managed. KPMG’s team of professionals working in member firms around the globe can assist you in navigating regulations, planning your investments, and reducing the cost associated with your sustainability program.
