Donation receipt; issued by the municipality

If you make a donation in cash or in kind to your municipality, it can issue a donation receipt if the donation is intended to promote tax-privileged purposes. The donation receipt must be issued on an officially prescribed form.

A donation receipt from the municipality can be waived if the donation does not exceed EUR 300. The tax authorities recognize the cash payment receipt or the booking confirmation from the bank as a donation receipt.

Since the 2017 assessment period, donation receipts or supporting documents only have to be submitted to the tax office on request.
