| News from Ireland - Clause 23 of the Irish Finance Bill |
|
Published on 4 February 2010, extends income tax relief to charities established in an EEA or EFTA state. The foreign charity would have to apply to the Revenue Commissioners for a determination that it is entitled to the exemption available to an Irish charity. Once the foreign charity has been granted exemption for a minimum period of 2 years - i.e. the same period as for an Irish charity, it is eligible to receive tax deductible donations. The Commissioners can appoint an auditor, at the expense of the charity or its board members, to verify the information provided by the charity. EAPG thanks member Paul Bater for this alert. |

EAPG is pleased to make available the first French study on endowment funds carried out by the law firm Aklea; please click here to download a copy of the study. Created recently by the “Law on the Modernisation of the Economy of August 4, 2008”, endowment funds are a true “revolution” in the French world of foundations. EAPG would like to thank Stéphane Couchoux of the international law firm Aklea (with headquarters in Paris) for making this available to other members, and Jan Jennings Cailleux of Viking Consulting Services in Paris for reviewing the English translation of this study. The original French version of the study can be found on Aklea's website, www.aklea.fr as well as on the French Ministry of Culture’s web site. |
