Who can claim Tax Relief?

If you are a PAYE / PRSI employee and you give more than €250 in a calendar year, we can reclaim the tax paid on your donation(s).  This applies to individual contributions and not to monies raised through sponsorship.

You can make your donation as a once-off lump sum gift (minimum €250 required) or by instalments.  For example a standing order of €21 per month over 12 months totals €252, and qualifies for the tax relief scheme.  You could give a few gifts over the course of the year totalling a minimum of €250 to qualify.

If you are a self-assessed tax payer Foróige cannot claim tax on your donation; however you may make a claim for tax relief when filing your tax return and reduce the cost of making your donation.
Companies donating more than €250 can claim tax relief by including the claim on the company’s tax return.

How much further can my contribution go?

As an example, a person donating €250 who pays income tax at the rate of 20% attracts a reclaim of €63 from the Revenue Commissioners making the total value of your gift to Foróige €313.
For anyone paying tax at 41% that reclaim is worth €174 for a total gift of €424 to Foróige. 
For a company with a taxrate of 12.5%, the after tax cost of making a donation of €250 is €219.
