IECD will forward you a full-discharge tax receipt. For example, a gift of 100€ will cost you 34€. > For further information on the legal aspects as specified by the Code Général des Impôts (CGI) - French Tax Code, click here Furthermore, donations can also lead, under certain conditions, to tax exemptions from the ISF (French Wealth Tax).
The legal status of IECD means it is also entitled to receiving donations and bequests exempt from legacy duties. These bequests may be legally bequeathed and devoted to a specific IECD project or to a set of projects or programmes in an emerging country or in France. In this case they are handled through a specific management account. |
