Donations to a Brotherhood may qualify for Income Tax deductions if they meet Law 49/2002 requirements

A taxpayer has enquired whether donations made to a religious Brotherhood for the restoration of a chapel allow for tax deductions. The Directorate General for Tax Affairs (DGT) has ruled that if the entity falls within the categories established by the Agreement with the Holy See, it will be eligible for patronage tax benefits.

The question raised

Question posed: Whether said Brotherhood is included in the ninth additional provision of Law 49/2002.

The DGT's ruling

If the Brotherhood is an entity of the Catholic Church contemplated in the Agreement with the Holy See, it is considered a beneficiary of patronage pursuant to Law 49/2002. In that case, irrevocable monetary donations shall entitle one to the deductions provided for in said law. The percentage of deduction in the IRPF shall depend on the scale established in Article 19 of Law 49/2002.
