Donations instead of taxes.
The tax office recognises up to 20%!

Donations to a charitable organisation such as the AMAZONICA Foundation are “expenses for the promotion of charitable, ecclesiastical, religious, scientific and other purposes recognised as particularly worthy of support (Section 10b of the Income Tax Act)” and can be claimed as donations for tax purposes.

  • General deduction: In principle, you can deduct donations up to a total of 20% of your total annual income.
  • Donation receipt: When making your donation, please provide your full address so that AMAZONICA can issue a tax-deductible donation receipt.
  • For donations up to €300 is a donation receipt from us not required. The deposit slip serves as proof for tax purposes.

Thank you very much for your trust.
