Tax deductibility of donations

Italy

The organization Benefficienza allows Italian taxpayers to donate to effective charities all around the world in a tax-deductible way and provides donation receipts for all such donations.

Donate through Benefficienza

If you pay taxes in Italy, you can either:

  • Deduct 30% of the donated amount from your gross tax, up to an annual maximum of €30,000.
  • Deduct donations up to 10% of your gross income. If this deduction is greater than your declared income (after other deductions), you can use the excess to deduct income for the next four years.

These tax benefits allow you to donate more at a lower cost, see more details here.

We recommend Giving What We Can members who donate via Benefficienza report their donations on their Pledge Dashboard so that they can track their pledge.
