Tax deductibility of donations
Donations to the ashram are tax-deductible. Depending on income, this can have significant benefits. Since January 1, 2014, it is no longer necessary to draw up a notarial deed for this purpose.
Filling out a form from the tax authorities is sufficient. Click here to request the form. The tax authorities’ form must then be signed by the donor and the treasurer of our foundation, and it concerns a fixed amount per year for at least five years.
Travel expenses
If you come to the ashram for volunteer work or if you travel on behalf of the foundation, these travel expenses are tax-deductible as a gift to the foundation.
Search the tax authorities’ website for ‘ANBI reimbursements for expenses incurred’. If necessary, also check ‘Volunteer allowances’ on the same website.
You must always refer to the Haidakhandi Samaj Foundation when dealing with the tax authorities.
