In-kind donations are those in which, instead of contributing money, the benefactor makes a contribution in goods. Most of the time these are valuable goods that the donor already counts that he will not use or enjoy, and considers that they will be more useful if he supports a noble cause with them.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the <strong>donations in kind,<\/strong> in favor of entities covered by Law 49\/2002, such as foundations, appear in a law of varied content, Law 7\/2022, of April 8, 2002, on waste and contaminated soils for a circular economy. This type of donation includes goods such as watches, jewelry, paintings and works of art. The CARF Foundation guarantees a secure and professional procedure for the treatment of all donated goods: official appraisal and public auction.<\/p>\n<p>The current Patronage Law, in order to encourage private efforts, helps to encourage in-kind donations at no cost to contribute to a foundation. The law states that<strong> the tax base of a property, which still has value, is zero,<\/strong> if the donation is for a foundation that will use it for its purposes.<strong> In addition, a 0 % VAT is applied.<\/strong> to deliveries of goods made as donations in kind.<\/p>\n<p>The goods received by the CARF Foundation undergo a professional appraisal and will subsequently be auctioned. At the same time that an official appraisal of the Monte de Piedad CaixaBank is available, the corresponding certificate of the donation of these goods in kind can be issued. The CARF Foundation will try to improve the appraisal price through a public auction.<\/p>\n<h3>What about joint and several wills and legacies?<\/h3>\n<p>A solidarity bequest is a testamentary disposition in favor of a non-profit institution. A legacy is considered to be a specific asset (vehicles, shares, life insurance, real estate...), whereas an inheritance is a succession in which the estates of both the heir and the deceased are merged.<\/p>\n<p>To make a bequest or <strong>joint and several will<\/strong> in favor of the CARF Foundation you only need to go to a notary and express your will to testament or bequeath all or part of the assets you own.<\/p>\n<p>In the liquidation of the will, non-profit entities shall <strong>are not subject to inheritance and gift tax,<\/strong> and therefore solidarity bequests are tax free for the beneficiaries. The entire value of the donation will be destined to the work of the foundation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_39\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_5 et_pb_column_112  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_11\">\n<p><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-163904\" title=\"tax deductibility of donations \" src=\"https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/desgravar-donaciones-3.jpg\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 720px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/desgravar-donaciones-3.jpg 720w, https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/desgravar-donaciones-3.jpg 480w\" alt=\"desgravaci\u00f3n donaciones \" width=\"720\" height=\"460\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_40\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_5 et_pb_column_115  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_36  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h2>Patronage Law 49\/2002<\/h2>\n<p>The Patronage Law of December 23, on the tax regime for non-profit organizations and tax incentives for patronage includes the:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Article 19.

In other words, <strong>by donating 20,83 \u20ac\/month or 250 \u20ac\/year, the Tax Agency will refund you 200 \u20ac in your income tax return.<\/strong> Donations of larger amounts have a deduction of 40 % on the quota.<\/p>\n<h3>Tax benefits for recurring donations<\/h3>\n<p>A deduction of 40 % may be applied to donations, instead of the general 35 %, provided that donations of the same or greater amount have been made to the same foundation in the two immediately preceding tax periods, thus rewarding the committed donor. The deduction has a limit of 15 % of the net taxable income.<\/p>\n<h3>Tax deduction for donations made by companies and partnerships<\/h3>\n<p>In the case of donations made by legal entities, such as corporations, the amount donated has a corporate income tax deduction of 35 % and 40 % in the case of recurring donations. In this case there is no mention of two donation brackets.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, it is important to note that the basis of this deduction may not exceed 10 % of the taxable income for the tax period. Amounts in excess of this limit may be applied in tax periods ending in the ten years immediately following and thereafter.<\/p>\n<h3>How to deduct donations made to the CARF Foundation?<\/h3>\n<p>When you file your income tax return, or your corporate tax return if you are a company, do not forget to apply the deduction for donations made by crediting your donations. To do so, it is necessary to present the donation certificate issued by the CARF Foundation to all its donors, which in turn informs the Tax Agency so that it can include these amounts in the tax information of each person or company and in its draft tax return.<\/p>\n<p>Anonymous donations cannot be deducted because the tax authorities do not know to whom the deduction should be applied. That is why it is important to make sure that you give complete information, always filling out the forms provided on the website. In this way, the foundation will be able to issue you a donation certificate acknowledging the donation made.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bibliography<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Article 16, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/buscar\/act.php?id=BOE-A-2002-25039\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Law 49\/2002, of December 23, 2002.<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional Provision 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of Law 49\/2002, of December 23, 2002.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional Provision 18, Law 49\/2002, of December 23, 2002.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Final Provision 4, Law 14\/2011, of June 1, 2011.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/culturaymecenazgo.cultura.gob.es\/guia-rapida.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quick Guide, Ministry of Culture and Sports, Government of Spain.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donations made to foundations or entities under the Patronage Law carry tax deductions for donors.
