Information on Tax Relief

K

Eligibility

Donations from individuals or companies to eligible charities can qualify for tax relief. Aosóg Centres CLG is eligible for this tax relief.

K

Donation method

To qualify, the total donations from any one individual or company in a year must be €250 or more, up to a limit of €1,000,000. Donations can be made by cheque, electronic fund transfers or Bankers Order. [pdf printable].

K

The nature of the Tax Relief

The nature of the tax relief will vary depending on the tax status of the donor, whether they are a PAYE employee, a self-employed person, or a Company.

K

Donations from persons

For a PAYE employee or self-employed person who has donated €250 or more in a calendar year, tax relief can be claimed by Aosóg through the Revenue’s Charitable Donations Scheme. At the end of a calendar year, Aosóg asks each donor to complete a CHY3 form (the Revenue’s tax-back form). This form is valid for a five-year period, during which any donations of at least €250 in any of those years, can be submitted by Aosóg to get the tax relief. For example, if a donor donates €250 to Aosóg in 2023 and completes a CHY3 form at the end of the year, Aosóg will receive the donation of €250 and potentially another €112.32 from Revenue in relation to that same donation. So, a donation of €250 from the individual becomes €362.32 for Aosóg through the Charitable Donations Scheme.

K

Donations from companies

The company donating can claim a deduction in its annual tax return.
