Field help: Have you made donations to political parties?

Select "yes" if you have made donations or membership fees to a political party.

Donations and membership fees to political parties receive a special tax benefit.

Half of your expenses are deducted directly from your income tax. This applies to payments up to 1.650 Euro, or 3.300 Euro for jointly assessed spouses.

Beyond this amount, further payments up to 1.650 Euro (or 3.300 Euro for jointly assessed spouses) can be considered as special expenses.

The tax benefit only applies to parties eligible for state party funding.

You can enter donations and contributions to the following parties, for example:
