Donations up to €300: the simplified proof
Representatives and donation receiptsFor donations up to €300, the donor doesn't need a donation receipt (Zuwendungsbestätigung). The tax office (Finanzamt) is satisfied with their bank statement or credit card statement together with a document from your community (§ 50 Abs. 4 EStDV). The document states the tax-privileged purpose (steuerbegünstigter Zweck), the details of your notice and that the payment is a donation. It's the same for all donations and shows neither a name nor an amount.
Download the document
- Step 1: Open Representatives in the Studio.
- Step 2: In the Donations up to €300 row, click Download.
Print the document and place it by the donation screen, put it up or hand it over when someone asks for it.
Requirements
The document doesn't need a signature or a notification to the tax office. It does, however, need a stored notice, and our team must have confirmed your community's charitable status (Steuerbegünstigung). As long as that's missing, the row says “Not possible yet” with the reason.
