Reduced income tax
Withholding tax changes nothing! You can still benefit from a tax reduction of 66% of the amount of your donation in year n! What does change is the way the tax administration team refunds the tax reduction, in 2 stages:
- an advance of 60% of your tax reduction on your donations made in year n-1 will be paid to you on 15 January of year n+1
- a positive or negative adjustment, calculated according to the amount of your donation in year n.
Fondation de France illustrates withholding tax
For example:
- In 2021, you made a donation of €100 to the Foundation that you declared in 2020, and in September 2022 you received your 2021 tax notice with a reduction of €66 (66% of the amount of your donation).
- In 2022, you also made a donation of €100 to the Foundation.
- In January 2023, you received an advance equal to 60% of €66 (your tax reduction calculated on your 2021 donation), i.e. €39.50.
- In June 2023, you declared your income and your donation for 2022.
- In September 2023, you received your tax notice with a reduction equal to €66 (the reduction to which you are entitled on your 2022 donation) less €39.50 (advance received in January 2023).
- In January 2024, you will receive an advance equal to 60% of €66 (your tax reduction calculated on your 2022 donation), i.e. €39.50.
Reduction in corporation tax (IS)
Corporate philanthropy is a scheme that enables companies to make a donation to an organisation, in the form of financial or material aid, to support a work of general interest, in return for which they can benefit from a reduction in corporation tax.
For companies subject to corporation tax, a donation to the EM Normandie Business School Foundation entitles them to a corporation tax reduction of 60% of the sums paid (40% for donations over €2 million), the donation being taken into account up to a limit of €20,000 or 0.5% of turnover excluding tax, whichever is higher.
Reduction in the IFI (Impôt sur la Fortune Immobilière - tax on property wealth)
Property wealth tax (IFI) applies to tax households with net property assets of more than €1.3 million.
A donation to the EM Normandie Business School Foundation entitles you to a tax reduction on the IFI of 75% of the amount, capped at €50,000.
