Tax relief

Contributions can take a number of different forms: financial or material donations, bequests and settlements. The examples provided thereafter are not exhaustive and are solely valid for individuals and firms that are domiciled for tax purposes in France. Mechanisms are available in order to allow donors who are residents in other countries (such as the United States or some European countries) to benefit from tax incentive toward philanthropy to the extent provided by their countries. Please contact Frédéric Cherbonnier for further information.

  • Companies can deduct 60% of their donation from their corporate tax, up to a maximum of 0.5% of turnover, with the possibility of deferring the tax credit if either the year’s donations exceed this threshold or the company does not pay any corporate tax that year.

    For example: a 500 000€ donation will only cost 200 000€

  • Individuals receive a tax break equal to 66% of the donation, provided that total donations do not exceed a maximum of 20% of taxable income. If this ceiling is exceeded, the excess can be deferred over the next five years. If you are liable for "ISF" wealth tax, you can deduct 75% of the donations made to the Jean-Jacques Laffont Foundation up to a ceiling of €50,000
     
    For example: a 100 000€ donation costs only 34 000€, while a 20 000€ donation within the ISF tax will costs only 5 000€
