Information on tax relief

• Donations from individuals or companies to eligible charities can qualify for tax relief.
• To qualify, the total donation in a year must be at least €250; There is no upper limit on your donation and it can be made by cash, cheque or Banker's Order [pdf printable].
• The nature of the tax relief will vary depending on whether the donor is PAYE, or self-assessed, or a company.
• For a PAYE taxpayer, the tax relief on a donation will be claimed by the charity. At the end of the year the donor signs a certificate which the charity provides. This certificate entitles the charity to claim the tax relief on the donation.
• For a self-assessed taxpayer, the donor will claim the relief directly. Similarly, for corporate donations, companies will claim a deduction for the donation as if it were a trading expense.
