Tax benefits

For a donation of € 40 to specific research, a philanthropic project or fund, you will receive a tax certificate the following year that you can include in your tax return.

Are you taking it one step further and setting up a fund yourself? You will receive a tax certificate for the capital you contribute, which you can include in your tax return.

Would you like to support research, a project or a fund? Ask your family, friends and colleagues to make a donation to VUB. They will receive a tax certificate for their gift.

Are you organising a fundraising or an event, or are you participating in a contest yourself and would you like to be sponsored by friends, family, and colleagues? You won't receive a tax certificate.

What if you don't have a partner or children and you would like to support scientific research? Then you can donate to the university by means of a legacy or will. Because you give to a good cause, the inheritance tax is more advantageous for your testators.

Through a chair, your company or organisation supports a project in research, education or innovation. Your contribution counts as a gift or sponsorship. A gift entitles you to tax deduction, a sponsorship is a deductible item as a business expense.

Are you sponsoring research, a project, event, lecture, course day, or conference? In exchange for the sponsorship amount, your company will receive publicity, visibility and/or access to our facilities or activities. The sponsored amount is a deductible item as a business expense.

Your company or organisation can also donate to VUB. You will not receive any consideration for this, but you will receive a tax certificate for tax deduction and of course our gratitude.
