Your donation is eligible for a tax relief
Thus, according to the legislation in force, each of your donations is eligible for a tax reduction in respect of Income Tax (IR), Real Estate Tax (IFI) or Corporate Income Tax (CIT).
| Give to the EM Normandie Foundation | €300 | €1.000 | €5.000 | €10.000 | |
| IR 66% reduction (limit 20% of taxable income) | 66% reduction | €–198 | €–660 | €–3.300 | €–6.600 |
| Your donation actually will cost you | €102 | €340 | €1.700 | €3.400 | |
| IFI 75 % reduction (maximum of 50,000 i. e. a donation of €66,666) | 75 % reduction | €–225 | €–750 | €–3.750 | €–7.500 |
| Your donation actually will cost you | €75 | €250 | €1.250 | €2.500 | |
| IS 60% reduction (donation taken into account within the limit of €10,000 or 0.5% of the turnover excluding tax if higher) | 60% reduction | €–180 | €–600 | €–3.000 | €–6.000 |
| Your donation actually will cost you | €120 | €400 | €2.000 | €4.000 | |
For example, if you give €300, your donation actually costs you:
- €102 after income tax reduction
- or €75 after IFI reduction
- or €120 after IS reduction
But the Foundation does have €300 for Solidarity Actions!
The Income Tax Relief
The withholding tax does not change anything! You can still benefit from a tax reduction of 66% of the amount of your donation made in year n! What changes is the way in which the tax authorities refund the tax reduction, in 2 steps:
- an advance of 60% of your tax reduction on your donations made in year n-1 will be paid to you on 15 January of year n+1
- a positive or negative regularisation in September of year n+1, calculated according to the amount of your donation actually made in year n.
For example:
- In 2021, you made a donation of €100 to the Foundation that you declared in 2022, and in September 2022 you received your 2021 tax notice with a reduction of €66 (66% of the amount of your donation).
- In 2022, you also made a donation of €100 to the Foundation.
- In January 2023, you received an advance equal to 60% of 66 € (your tax reduction calculated on your 2021 donation) i.e. €39.50.
- In June 2023 you reported your income and donation for 2022.
- In September 2023, you will receive your tax notice with a reduction of €20.50, equal to €66 (reduction to which you are entitled on your 2022 donation) minus €39.50 (advance received in January 2023).
- In January 2024, you will receive an advance equal to 60% of 66 € (your tax reduction calculated on your 2022 donation) i.e. €39.50.
- Etc.

The IFI / Real Estate Wealth Tax relief
Since 1 January 2018, the wealth solidarity tax (ISF) has been replaced by the property wealth tax (IFI). It concerns tax households with net real estate assets in excess of €1.3 million.
A donation to the EM Normandie Foundation entitles you to a tax reduction on the IFI of 75% of its amount, with a maximum of €50,000.
Corporate tax reduction
Sponsorship is a system that allows a company to make a financial or material donation to an organization to support a work of general interest, in return for which it can benefit from a corporate income tax relief.
Thus, for companies subject to corporate income tax, a donation to the EM Normandie Foundation entitles them to an IS reduction of 60% of the amounts paid, the donation being taken into account within the limit of €10,000 or 0.5% of turnover excluding tax if this last amount is higher.
