Overview

The Charitable Donation Scheme allows tax relief on qualifying donations made to approved bodies.

If an individual donates €250 or more in a year, the approved body can claim a refund of tax paid on that donation. The claim must first be authorised by the donor.

If a company donates €250 or more in a year, the company can claim a tax deduction as if the donation was a trading expense.

There is a four year time limit for making a claim under this scheme.
