Tax benefits

For private individuals

Reduction of Personal Income Tax

If you pay personal Income Tax, you are entitled to declare 66% of the amount donated as a tax reduction; the maximum amount declared cannot exceed 20% of your taxable income. However, if you donate an amount above this limit, the excess is carried over for the next five years.

Example: a donation of €1,000 will only cost you €340 after the tax deduction.Reduction of Solidarity Tax on Wealth (I.F.I.)

If you pay the French “Impôt sur la Fortune Immobilière” (IFI [Wealth Tax]), the TEPA (Employment and Purchasing power) law of August 2007 allows you to deduct 75% of the amount of your donation from your ISF, up to a maximum of €50,000. This enables you to channel a significant portion of your ISF tax towards support initiatives at TBS.

Example: If you pay €1,000 of ISF tax, you can make a donation of €1,333 euros and reduce your ISF to €0.

Note that specific, highly advantageous tax rules apply to donations, bequests, donations of stock-options and shares. For more information, please contact us.

If the donations exceed this limit, the excess can be carried over for the next five fiscal years according to the same conditions, after taking into account any additional donations made during the year in progress. (Article 238 bis 1° of the French General Tax Code).Example: a donation of €10,000 costs the company €4,000 after the tax deduction.
