Did you know? The State of Israel offers a tax credit of approximately 35% on your donations. To make it easy for you to get your money back, we created a system that organizes all your donation data into one simple report.
What exactly is a tax credit for donations?
In order to encourage social involvement and philanthropy, for each donation made the state offers a tax receipt to donors so that they can in turn request a tax refund for the donation.
How does it work?
How does it work? If you donated over 200 NIS in total this year to recognized charities (Section 46), you are eligible for a refund. We provide the report for free. You just need to download it and submit it to the authorities (or your employer).
Before getting started, you should know:
Official receipts - the request for a tax refund can only be submitted for donations whose official receipts were not downloaded during the calendar year. Downloading the original receipt prevents you from declaring to the Israeli Tax Authority that the request is unique and no further attempts have been made to receive a tax refund for the same donation.
Associate all of your donations to your name- Made a donation when you were not signed in to your account? No worries, you can add these receipts to your consolidated receipt if you used the same email address. Our system will automatically detect if there are donations that are not yet associated with the account and will ask if you would like to associate them. You can also always do it yourself, with the help of this guide.
How?
Our innovative digital system groups all your receipts into one consolidated receipt with just a few simple clicks.
1. Enter your personal account by clicking
then click 'My personal account.' You can use this Login guide for more details.
2. In your personal area, click on the 3 dots button on the left, and then press on the
3.Select the year and press "Download"
Some more information:
1. You can receive a tax credit only for donations made through JGive during the last tax year (calendar year) and only for original receipts you have not downloaded yet. Don't worry, after every donation through JGive we remind you not to download the original receipt.
2. The amount of the credit is up to 35% of the total donation and is dependent on paying income tax at a minimum amount of the credit. For example: an employee who contributed 1,000 in a given year will receive a credit of 350 NIS - provided that he paid more than 350 NIS in income tax that year.
3. The minimum annual contribution amount to qualify for a tax credit is NIS 190.
4. To submit an application for a tax credit through your employer, you must find out whether they are willing to submit it for you (this is possible only in workplaces that employ over 50 employees and that choose to allow employees to do so).
5. If you are eligible for tax relief for additional reasons (disability percentage, discharged soldier, new immigrant, etc.) - you must fill out Form 116 manually and submit the request for tax credit independently.
