Tax Relief on Your Contributions

Crash Ensemble is a registered charity, which means that contributions exceeding €250 qualify for tax relief. Under Section 848A of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 the minimum qualifying amount has been set at €250 and there is no maximum qualifying amount.

Self-Assessment

A self-employed individual receives tax relief on the donation via the tax return. A donation of €500 (minimum qualifying amount €250) effectively means a real cost of €400 if paying tax at the standard rate of 20% or €295 if paying tax at the higher rate of 41%.

Corporate Donations

Companies can treat the donation (minimum qualifying amount €250) as a trading expense thus reducing the real cost.

PAYE Taxpayer

If you are a PAYE taxpayer and choose to donate an amount above €250 (minimum qualifying amount) the Revenue Commissioners allows us to claim back relief on the grossed up amount. For example, if you pay tax at the higher rate of 41% your €250 is worth €423 to us and as a standard rate taxpayer the same amount is worth €313.
