Donations above €250 can qualify for a tax rebate enabling is to increase the value of your donation by up to 66%.
Tax Rebate Scheme Explained
Under Irish revenue rules, as an approved sports body, we can claim tax relief on donations made in relation to a project approved by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport (DTTAS).
When someone paying tax under the PAYE system makes a donation, it is considered to be net of tax. For example, if someone pays tax at 40%, a donation of €1,000 would be considered to be 60% of the donation.
The club can claim the tax on the donation directly from the Revenue Commissioners, thus increasing the value of this donation to €1,667. Similarly, if someone pays tax at 20% the €1,00 is considered as 80% of the donation.
In both cases, the club can claim the tax on the donation directly from the Revenue Commissioners.
