Tax Deductibility

Public Benefit Organisations (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instellingen, or ANBIs) can benefit from certain tax advantages relating to inheritances, donations and energy tax. Organisations designated as ANBIs by the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration are eligible for these tax benefits.

Stichting Schaakschool Indische Buurt is a Public Benefit Organisation (ANBI). This means that the foundation meets the requirements set by the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration for organisations serving the public benefit.

As a result, individuals and businesses can make donations with tax benefits. The foundation is also exempt from tax on donations and inheritances.

Donating with tax benefits Donations to Schaakschool Indische Buurt may be deductible in your income tax return, provided that certain conditions are met. Different conditions apply to fully deductible recurring donations and partially deductible ordinary donations.

Fully deductible recurring donations Your donation to Stichting Schaakschool Indische Buurt can be fully deducted from your taxable income in your income tax return if it meets the following conditions: - You donate the same amount to Stichting Schaakschool Indische Buurt every year. You may decide whether to pay your annual donation in one payment or in several instalments. - You make the payments for five consecutive years. You may also continue for longer. - You have specified when the donation will end, for example after five years or upon your death. - The donation is recorded in an agreement concluded between you and Stichting Schaakschool Indische Buurt.

Partially deductible ordinary donations Your donation to Stichting Schaakschool Indische Buurt is considered a partially deductible ordinary donation if it does not meet the conditions for a fully deductible recurring donation.

Partially deductible ordinary donations may be deducted in your income tax return. However, a minimum threshold and a maximum apply: you may deduct the amount above the threshold, but not more than the maximum deductible amount.

The threshold is 1% of your threshold income (the total of your income in Boxes 1, 2 and 3), with a minimum of €60.

If you have a fiscal partner, your partially deductible donations and the threshold incomes of both you and your fiscal partner are added together.
