Tax relief on gifts
Oxfam Sweden is approved for tax reduction for gifts from private individuals, which means that you can get a tax reduction for gifts donated to us. On this page you will find frequently asked questions and answers, for more detailed information we refer to the Swedish Tax Agency.
Who can get tax relief?
The tax reduction applies to individuals who turn 18 by December 31 of the same year as the gift is donated. You must have given at least SEK 200 per gift occasion and at least SEK 2,000 in total to one or more organizations (which are approved gift recipients) during a calendar year.
How much tax relief can I get?
You can get a 25% tax reduction. The maximum amount on which you can receive a tax reduction in income year 2024 (income tax return 2025) is SEK 12,000, which means a maximum deduction of SEK 3,000. Read more on The Swedish Tax Agency's website.
How do I get the tax credit?
In order for us to submit control data to the Swedish Tax Agency, we need your personal identity number. If you are a monthly donor via Autogiro, we already have your personal identity number, but if you have made a one-off donation or are a monthly donor via SMS, it is possible that we do not have this information. Please feel free to contact us and we will add your details to our register.
In January, we send a control statement for gifts during the previous year to the Swedish Tax Agency. The tax reduction will then be pre-printed in your income tax return. The summing up of the total number of gifts to different organizations is done by the Swedish Tax Agency, by all organizations (which are approved gift recipients) submitting control information to the Swedish Tax Agency.
Swedish Tax Agency's website you can read more about tax reduction, and see which organizations are approved gift recipients.
Does Oxfam have my social security number?
Are you unsure whether we have enough information to submit a control report to the Tax Agency? If so, please contact Givarservice, see contact details at the bottom of the page.
Can I increase my monthly amount?
Of course! It's easy to increase your monthly amount, and you choose how much you want to give. Even a small amount makes a big difference to people in poverty. Contact the Giving Service and we'll arrange it for you.
