Tax deductibility
As we are an ANBI (public benefit organization), donations can be deducted from Dutch income tax returns. However, the conditions are different for a repeated (periodic) gift and one-off (ordinary) gift.
Periodic donation
A donation is a periodic donation if it meets one of the following 3 conditions:
- The same amount is gifted annually to the same institution or association. This can be payed in one go, or in instalments.
- The amount is payed at least 5 years in a row.
- There is a predetermined end to the donations. For example, after 5 years, or when the person passes away.
Ordinary donation
An ordinary donation is a donation made only once, or a donation made annually which is not documented in an agreement. This may be deducted if it meets all the following conditions:
- The donation will go to an ANBI (public benefit organization)
- The donation is voluntary
- There is nothing given in exchange for the donation
- The gift can be proven through, for example, the withdrawals from your account
