Tax deduction in Switzerland
AVEC Switzerland association is exempt from tax as a public-benefit organisation. Your donations are therefore deductible from your taxable income, both for direct federal tax and for cantonal and communal taxes. The exact amount varies according to your canton of residence, your income and the total of your annual donations.
- Deduction ceiling for direct federal tax: 20 % of net income for private individuals.
- Cantonal system: varies by canton, generally in line with or more generous than the federal rate.
- Tax receipt sent in January or February of the following year, to be attached to your tax return.
- For companies: deduction for corporate sponsorship, terms available from your trustee.
For any tax question specific to your situation, your trustee or your cantonal tax authority are the right people to contact.
Giving regularly counts for even more
A monthly donation lets us plan ahead on the ground. Sponsorship goes further: you follow a specific project, receive a quarterly newsletter and a welcome kit. From 25 CHF a month, a month of meals for a child at the refuge, you become the mainstay of a programme.
