Donations and Dutch tax?
by Peter Wagemans 05 May '11

05 May '11

Dear reader, Recently I was looking at the possibility of a (small) donation to your foundation. As a Dutch citizen I contacted our tax authorities to find out whether this donation to a foreign institution could be tax deductible, since that would allow a bigger gift for the same cost to me. I was told that you are not yet on the list of approved foundations. The list from 2010.03.30 is: http://download.belastingdienst.nl/belastingdienst/docs/alfabetische_lijst_… [ANBI is the abbreviation of the Dutch phrase "Algemeen nut beogende instelling", which might be translated as "foundation for the common good".] The current list contains some foreign institutions, including from Germany ("Duitsland"). According to my information, institutions have to apply for inclusion in the list via forms that can be obtained at the following address: Belastingdienst/Oost-Brabant ANBI-team Postbus 70505 5201 CG ’S-HERTOGENBOSCH Nederland which is listed on the following page: http://www.belastingdienst.nl/variabel/niet_commerciele_organisaties/niet_c… Actually, I was surprised that your foundation is not yet on the list. It could mean that there are other ways to make tax-deductible gifts. Or are the Dutch donations too small for the trouble to get listed? I would appreciate it if you would inform me about whether you are going to apply for the Dutch ANBI listing (and if in this year) and about any other relevant information that you have on making tax deductible donations from the Netherlands. Regards and thanks, Peter Wagemans Porthoslaan 24 6213 CR Maastricht Netherlands

I am very sorry about the delay in confirmation. I received your request on the 15th and started preparing the revised document earlier this week. However, I am processing the majority of my FSFE email today, and had not sent the reply yet. Please find the updated sponsorship document attached. Do let me know if all the corrections match your requirements, and if anything else is needed. Our office is CC'd in this thread, so you can request a German donation receipt as required simply by replying to this mail. I am not sure if this would be useful for US tax purposes, but the option is there. Thank you again for supporting of the event. HP has long been a key friend of the European Legal Network, and it's great to work together in 2011. Do you think you might personally attend? It would be excellent to have an update regarding the revamped FOSSBazaar for the network delegates.
