The €150 limit for donation tax relief does not double in joint tax returns

A married couple enquired whether the €150 limit for applying the 80% tax relief on donations could be doubled when filing a joint Income Tax return. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that the quantitative limits applicable to individual taxation remain identical for joint filings.

The question raised

Question posed: Whether the limit of 150 euros to which the 80 percent deduction percentage for donations can be applied can be multiplied by two when the marriage files a joint tax return.

The DGT's ruling

In joint taxation, the amounts and quantitative limits established for individual taxation apply in the same amount, without any increase or multiplication by the number of members of the family unit. Therefore, the sum of the donations from both spouses only allows for the application of the 80% deduction up to a total of 150 euros of deduction base.
