The Irish tax system contains a range of incentives aimed at facilitating and encouraging charitable donations by individuals and companies, which help to ensure that charities receive the maximum benefit from public and private donations.

The Charitable Donation Scheme allows tax relief on qualifying donations.   So if you are an Irish tax payer and donate €250 or more to a registered charity in any year, the charity can claim 45% in tax relief under the Charitable Donation Scheme.

It's very simple and straightforward and it means your donation is worth so much more.

You download the form, either CHY3 Form (an enduring tax back donation for five years) or CHY4 Form (to allow a donation in one financial year). Complete the details and return the form to our Accounts Department, Fingal SPCA, 33 Castleview Lawns, Swords, K67 FP93.

Remember €250 is only €4.81 a week or .69c a day! Less than a cup of coffee!
