Hi Jan-Willem, thanks for the info!I am interested in learning more about DonerEffectief: I will DM you about that.As for EU-wide deductibility, last time I checked it was one of those cases where:
EU rules establish something.
The countries’ tax authorities are not happy about it.
National rules make sure the process is as hellish as possible so that only heroes can push through.
I am quite sure that is still the case in Spain, but I will use this as a nudge to look into it again :-)
I checked with our tax advisors and the situation is more or less what I described:
There is an EU court ruling that says donations to non-profits in other member states should be tax-deductible.
However, Spain’s laws have not been adapted to account for that.
If you want to fight for the deduction, you have to go to court.
It seems that regranting —as we are doing in Ayuda Efectiva— is the safe way to go for now.
