Tax relief for greater impact

TU Dublin Foundation is eligible to reclaim the tax on donations of €250 or more received from Irish taxpayers in any year. This means that your donation can have an even greater impact at TU Dublin.

All donations over €250 per year from individuals (PAYE and self-assessed) will be treated the same, and the tax relief in all cases is repaid to the charity. This can involve one donation or multiple donations that add up to €250 or above.

The rate of tax relief for charities is a blended rate of 31% for all donors, irrespective of the actual tax rate paid. The gross donation is determined to be 100% / (100% - 31%) = 144.93% of the net donation, so the tax relief works out as 44.93% of the net donation – i.e. approximately 45% of what you paid.

Corporate tax relief

If a company donates €250 or more in a year, the company can claim a tax deduction as if the donation was a trading expense. TU Dublin Foundation is an eligible charity and will issue a receipt.
