*Tax-Efficient Giving
As a Belgian tax resident and private individual, you can benefit from a tax reduction amounting to 45% of the amount actually paid. The total amount of donations for which the tax reduction is granted can never amount to more than 10% of the total net income, or more than €392,200 (tax year 2023 – income 2022).
As a company, your donation entitles you to a tax reduction: based on a corporate tax rate of 33.99%, your tax benefit will amount to €33.99 for a donation of €100.
The limit applicable to donations made by companies subject to corporate tax is 5% of taxable profit, with a ceiling of €500,000.
