Charitable gifts may allow deductions, but only in specific cases. They should not be confused with the PIT 1% (1.5%) assignment, which is a separate mechanism.
Deductions apply only when statutory conditions are met and the gift is made for qualified purposes. In PIT the limit is 6% of income. Limits and rules can change, so verify them before filing.
CIT rules differ from PIT. A gift is generally not a tax cost, but in certain cases it may be deductible. The limit is 10% of income.
Typically required:
For cash gifts, proof of transfer is essential. For in‑kind gifts, confirmation of acceptance and value evidence are needed.
Before you rely on an exemption or calculate tax, go through a short checklist:
Typical documents include a gift agreement, confirmation of transfer or receipt, identity data of both parties, and any valuation or price evidence. If the item is real estate or a share in property, a notarial deed and land‑register documents are usually required. Clear documentation is the simplest way to avoid disputes with the tax office.
Rules and thresholds can change. If the amount is significant or the facts are complex, consider professional advice and always verify the current legal basis.
Tax‑deductible charitable donations usually require that the recipient is a qualified organization. Before donating, confirm the status of the foundation or charity and its public benefit purposes. A simple check in the official registry can save problems later.
Keep a clear trail: agreement, bank transfer confirmation, and a statement from the recipient if required. For in‑kind donations, document the items and valuation method. Without evidence, the deduction may be denied.
If you plan recurring donations, set a calendar reminder for year‑end documentation and collect confirmations regularly. This makes the annual tax settlement much easier and reduces the risk of missing paperwork.
A safe workflow looks like this: first confirm the relationship group and possible exemption, then prepare the agreement and proof of transfer, then file the correct form, and finally store all documents together. This makes later checks easier and reduces the risk of missing a deadline.
If gifts or inheritance events repeat, maintain a simple register with dates, amounts and documents. Even a basic spreadsheet is enough. It helps you see when thresholds are exceeded and which form you should file.
Most problems come from missing paperwork, unclear valuation or late reporting. A short checklist and consistent documentation usually solves the issue without the need for additional correspondence with the tax office.
If you receive the asset or money in several tranches, treat each tranche as part of the same overall gift from the same donor. Record the date and amount of each tranche. This makes it easier to decide when reporting is required and prevents accidental under‑reporting.
If the value is high, the relationship is unclear, or the asset is complex (shares, property with encumbrances), a short consultation can prevent expensive mistakes. In many cases, the cost of advice is lower than the risk of penalties or additional tax.
