What more can be done?

Individuals

An individual, that is, any private donor, may also make a financial or in-kind donation. Donation amounts are deductible from the tax base, but they cannot account for more than 6% of the income of the individual filing the return in a tax year (this is regulated by Article 26(1)(9) of the Personal Income Tax Act of July 26, 1991).

Conditions

The prerequisite for applying the donation deduction is proper documentation: in the case of a cash donation, the relevant document is proof of payment (in the tax year being accounted for) to a bank account, and in other cases, a document showing the value of the donation and a statement by the recipient of the donation that the donation was accepted.

Legal entities

Persons engaged in business activities may also donate to the fulfillment of statutory purposes. Legal entities may make donations, the total amount of which may not exceed 10% of income deductions. The rules for the deduction are similar to those for donations made by individuals (regulated by Article 18(1)(1) of the Corporate Income Tax Act).
