If you pay income tax in Sweden you may be able to claim a tax deduction from the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) of 25 per cent of the value of donations made during the year to approved organizations, up to a maximum reduction of 3000 SEK. To be eligible for a tax deduction:
- You must make donations totalling at least 2000 SEK during the year (1 January to 31 December).
- Each donation must be of at least 200 SEK (after any payment fees).
- The recipient organization(s) must be on Skatteverket's list of approved organizations at the time you make the donations. SIPRI (formally Stiftelsen Stockholms internationella fredsforskningsinstitut/Stiftelsen SIPRI) is an approved organization.
- You must be 18 years old on 31 December of the year in which you made the donations.
- All donations must be monetary and for the purpose of supporting scientific research or social assistance.
You can read more about claiming a tax reduction for charitable donations at the Skatterverket website (in Swedish) here.
In order for us to register your donation with Skatterverket, please give us your Swedish personal identity number (personnummer) when you make a donation.
