Tax being supportive has several rewards: the emotional one of knowing that thanks to your donation you are helping a social and charitable cause, and the economic one in the form of a deduction for donation in the income statement. Yes, donating deducts, and a lot!
Royal Decree-Law 17/2020, of May 5, published in the BOE of May 6, 2020, includes a modification of article 19 of Law 49/2002 that increases deductions for donations to NGOs by five percentage points.
This increase affects donations made by personal income taxpayers and by non-resident income taxpayers who operate in Spanish territory without a permanent establishment. The new deduction percentages apply from January 1, 2020 to donations to entities covered by Law 49/2002, of December 23, on the tax regime of non-profit entities and patronage incentives.
The new deduction percentages are as follows:
- 80% deduction for the first 150 euros donated.
- From that amount, that is, for the amount donated above the first 150 euros:
- Deduction of 35% .
- 40% deduction in the case of regular donations made for at least three years to the same entity for an equal or higher amount.

REDUCING DONATIONS TO NGOS: 4 THINGS TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT:
- This deduction has a tax base limit of 10%.
- Does not apply to the Basque Country and Navarra, where the deduction is 20 and 25%.
- If you have donated in the previous 2 years to the same NGO, the amount of tax relief may be higher.
- In the case of partners, this will be your total deduction in the event that you have been collaborating for a year (12 installments). If you have been a member for less than 12 months, your deduction will be proportional to the months in which you have collaborated during that fiscal year.
