NormanH Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 75% Of donations to charities such as Unicef is tax deductible up to 521€ Organismes d'aide aux personnes en difficulté 75 % des sommes versées 521 € pour les revenus de 2012 Au-delà de cette somme, les dons versés ouvrent droit à une réduction d'impôt de 66 % dans les limites de 20 % du revenu imposable. I for one would rather give 521€ to those in difficulty than to the state although it does mean paying out the other 25% of the donation...about 170€.Go on...give 50/60€ a month. It only costs you 15€ after you get the tax back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereford Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Absolutely. Don't forget Restos du Coeur. Lots more customers this year we have found in our local town. Give them money, get the tax relief and think about volunteering too. A brilliant way to improve your French as a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose (& Greyman) Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Is there a list of approved organisations ? This is an excellent idea, we could triple our donations in France for the same cost we currently give from our UK account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 I found this list for the Limousin, but I am sure that you can extrapolate for other areas:http://www.crijlimousin.org/IMG/pdf/5-52_-_LES_ASSOCIATIONS_D_AIDE_AUX_PERSONNES_EN_DIFFICULTE.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
