Report: Czech Constitutional Court supports tax on solar power producers

A report published by Reuters has advised that the Constitutional Court has endorsed a Czech tax on solar power producers as part of the government’s push to cut budget deficits and subdue the solar boom in the country. The ruling means that solar plants which came online in 2009 and 2010 are affected. 

Reuters noted that solar plant owners have threatened the state with intercession over the 26% tax on solar plants that have over 30kW capacities, which came into effect in December 2010 and will apply until 2013. Further, a group of nearly 20 senators complained to the court last year.
