Field help: (2018) Proof

There are the following possibilities to prove donations for tax-privileged purposes:

Proof according to a donation confirmation / donation receipt
You must have an original donation receipt. Since 2013, the tax office also accepts a Paypal account statement as proof of the donation made.

Proof according to the company tax office
With this proof, the donations and contributions made for tax-privileged purposes were certified by the company tax office, for example, in a separate and uniform declaratory statement.

Proof according to electronic transmission
In this case, the data required for donations and contributions for tax-privileged purposes were confirmed by the recipient by means of electronic transmission to the tax authorities.
