Types of Payroll Giving

 
 

For your monthly donation, you can choose from two options: Max Flex and Max Impact. Do you prefer maximum flexibility or maximum impact?

 
 
 

Max Flex

Do you prefer flexible terms and conditions? Then Max Flex is the way to go! With Max Flex you're able to change your gift at any moment. Whether you want to cancel your donation, donate to another charity or change the amount you give: you're free to do this as you wish! Whenever you want!

The tax benefit to Max Flex applies if your donation exceeds the minimum amount of 1% of your income. For example, when you earn €2500 each month and you give €30, your tax benefit is applicable for €5 of your donation. When you decide which amount you want to donate, the calculator will help you see how much you can expect in return as a tax benefit. This calculation is based on one whole calendar year. So your benefit may change if you change your amount halfway through the year. It may also vary when you have a fiscal partner: their income may also influence your tax benefit.

  • Max Flex is always flexible

  • Tax benefit only applies from 1% of your income

Max Impact

Do you want to achieve maximum impact? With Max Impact, every euro you give is eligible for tax return. For example, when you give €26 every month, you can receive €120 (€10 per month) back from the Dutch tax authorities. This way, your donation only costs you €16, while charities receive €26!

This tax benefit applies when you give to your charities for 5 or more calendar years. The Max Impact conditions therefore apply per calendar year that you donate and always start on January 1 of the coming year. Until then, the Max Flex conditions apply. After 5 calendar years you can change or cancel your donation at any time. You may cancel your donation before the term has ended, if special circumstances (such as termination or incapacity for work) apply. Even when special circumstances don't apply, you may cancel your donation before the term has ended. However, that may impact your tax benefit.

  • Tax benefit over every euro you give

  • You commit to your charities for 5 years

 

* Tax benefit only applies if you pay Dutch income tax
