Transparency report

LIBERECO is recognised as a non-profit organisation in Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland (see LIBERECO Switzerland). That means that all donations to LIBERECO are tax-deductible from your income tax in those three countries.

In Germany, LIBERECO has been recognised as a non-profit organisation in accordance with §5 para. 1 No. 9 KStG (Corporation Tax Act) and from trade tax in accordance with § 3 No. 6 GewStG (Trade Tax Act) since its establishment, because it serves exclusively and directly tax-privileged, charitable purposes within the meaning of §§ 51 ff. AO (German Fiscal Code).

In the Netherlands, LIBERECO has been recognised by the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration as a “general public benefit organisation” (ANBI; fiscaalnummer: 8242 08 444) since 2016. It has been recognised as such for an unlimited period under article 6.33 Wet inkomstenbelasting 2001. This means that we do not have to pay tax on donations, and that under certain conditions, you can also deduct a donation to us from your income tax (see above). The ANBI status also requires transparency; the most important information about us is listed below in detail. The complete ANBI publication form is available here.
