Tax treatment of donations in Switzerland

Direct federal tax

Individuals: donations made to charities headquartered in Switzerland may be deducted from the Swiss direct federal tax (art. 33, LIFD). Payments made over the course of a fiscal year must be no less than 100 francs and no more than 20% of the individual’s net income.
Legal entities: donations are tax-deductible up to 20% of the legal entity’s net profit (art. 59, LIFD).

Direct cantonal and municipal taxes

Donations made to charities are tax-deductible up to the limit determined by cantonal law (art. 9, LIHD). As an example, for the Geneva Canton, the limit is 20% of the net income. For the Vaud Canton, this is the same (donation must be greater than 100 francs).

Tax treatment of donations in EU & USA

Tax treatment of donations in the EU

ISS benefits from a system of cross-border donations (Transnational Giving Europe) allowing donors, both corporations and individuals, resident in one of the participating countries, to financially support non-profit organisations in other member countries, while benefiting directly from the tax advantages provided for in the legislation of their country of residence. Please contact us in order to receive more information.

Tax treatment of donations in the USA

U.S.-based donors can make tax deductible contributions to the “Friends of the International Social Service General Secretariat” at the King Baudouin Foundation United States (KBFUS). Because KBFUS is a public charity, within the meaning of Sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a)(1) of the IRC, donors may claim the maximum tax benefits allowed by U.S. tax law for their contributions. If you wish to support us, here is how to proceed:

Gifts by check: Write your check to KBFUS, write «International Social Service Network» in the memo section of the check, and send it to KBFUS, 551 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2400, New York, NY 10176.
Gifts by wire transfer or to contribute other types of property: Email KBFUS at: info@kbfus.org or phone (212) 713 7660.
