Recurring donation
The advantage of recurring donations
Regulating your donations in advance in a periodic donation gives you a tax advantage.
These donations are fully deductible from your taxable income. This means you will receive up to 37% of your donations back from the Tax Authorities* (*in the Netherlands).
If you also donate that advantage, you will help more children without it costing you more. It also gives us certainty when planning our projects for children.
Tax benefits if you live in the Netherlands
Suppose you live in the Netherlands. Your income falls within tax bracket 2 (46%*). You donate 100 euros to Terre des Hommes every year for five years. In your tax return, you then get back 46% of the full donation: 46 euros. That means your donation of 100 euros ultimately costs you only 54 euros each year.
If you can donate your tax return as well, your total contribution to Terre des Hommes amounts to 185 euros. That is almost double your donation.
Thanks to its ANBI status, Terre des Hommes does not pay any tax on donations. That means the money goes entirely to our fight against child exploitation.
* From 2020 until 2023, the annual deduction rate in the highest tax bracket will gradually be reduced from 46% to 37.05%.
