Deduction of donations

Tax information for the tax deductibility of donations from individuals and companies

Siemens Caring Hands e.V. is recognized by the Munich Tax Office as serving charitable and non-profit purposes (including promotion of public health and public health care, promotion of the welfare system).

For donations from private individuals and companies taxable in Germany up to EUR 300, a simplified proof of your donation is sufficient in the context of your tax return (e.g. cash payment slip, bank account statement, printout from online banking). A donation receipt will therefore not be issued for individual donations up to EUR 300.

For donations over EUR 300 you will receive a donation receipt from Siemens Caring Hands e.V. For this purpose, we ask you to provide us with your complete private address or the company address for donations from companies (via payment reference).

The donation receipts will be send out automatically and collectively once a year – at the end of each calendar year.

For people who are not taxable in Germany, tax deductibility is generally problematic. In this case, please contact your tax advisor
