I just donated and would be happy to do so on a regular basis.
But would it be possible for you to send me invoices including VAT? This way I can pay from my company account.
We probably are able to create a âdonation receiptâ that you can use as an accounting document. We just need your information to do that.
In which country is your company ? If itâs a french company, we have not yet discussed about producing âfiscal receiptâ in order to let people to reduce their tax (60%) or the company to do it (0,5%). We should probably do some paper work to do it without risk.
I tried to find the information in the contributors meetings, or in the project organization repo, but I could not. To be sure you can edit such donation receipt, you need the association to be recognized by the tax administration as being for general interest (see here, in French), is it the case?
Basically you could edit any receipt, but to be on the safe side you should have confirmation from the administration that the association can have this status.
Edit: I donât feel like spamming everyone since Iâm slightly out of topic. I stand corrected by @ljf below
It is always possible to edit donation receipts. You have to distinguish between a tax receipt and a donation receipt. A tax receipt allows you to obtain a tax deduction, a donation receipt just proves in an account that you have made a donation to an association that is not necessarily of general interest.
An association that meets the general interest criteria logically has the right to issue tax receipts for tax reductions BUT it is safer if the association (or an association of the same type) makes a rescript to the tax office. It will then be necessary to allow a maximum of 6 months to issue tax receipts without risk (the time of the administrationâs response).
Sorry if my translation is not correct, i am not familiar with accounting vocabularyâŠ
