FAQ
Fiscal certificate
Who is entitled to a tax certificate?
A donor is entitled to a tax certificate if:
-
The donation is at least 40 euros on an annual basis. This can be one gift or the sum of several gifts from one donor to the same NPO in the same year. Gifts to different asbls are not added together.
-
The donation directly from his account number has been deposited into the account number of To Walk Again VZW
-
He receives no quid pro quo for the donation. A quid pro quo may include participation in an activity, delivery of a good or service (for example, drinks for an event), logo listing, promotion in our newsletter,… .
-
The gift comes from an individual donor or a company and does not represent the proceeds of a fundraiser (a dinner party, for-profit activity,…).
To whom do we send the tax certificate?
The tax certificate is sent in the account holder’s name and to the address associated with the account number.
As a donor, do you need to apply for the tax certificate?
Those entitled to a tax certificate will automatically receive it in the mail. It is not necessary to apply for it
When will you receive your tax certificate?
If the donation is in To Walk Again’s account by December 31 at the latest, the donor will receive the tax certificate during April in the following year. (A deposit made on December 30 does not arrive in the account until January. The tax certificate for this donation, is not sent until April two years later).
Do all donations to To Walk Again qualify for a tax certificate?
-
No. Money that comes from a collective fundraiser is not entitled to a tax certificate. A sponsor who makes a donation to To Walk Again and receives a logo mention, advertisement or promotional attention in return is not entitled to a tax receipt.
-
Sometimes it does. A sponsor who sponsors your achievement for To Walk Again (for example, you run the Run To Walk Again or the Blossom Walk and seek sponsorship for this), receives a tax certificate for this if he pays this amount directly to To Walk Again. Not, if you collect the amount from the various sponsors yourself and forward it jointly. Neither you nor the sponsors will then receive a tax certificate.
