SUPPORT EXISTING WORKS

by means of relevant, bespoke donations (temporary donations, set-term usufruct donations, bare ownership donations, gradual or residual donations, alternative or optional donations, legacies net of costs and duties…). Our firm can help you to define the organisation most apt to receive your generosity and to draft the documents that will best guarantee that your will is respected.

CREATE YOUR OWN PHILANTHROPIC STRUCTURE:

association, foundation recognised as being of public utility, sheltered foundation, endowment fund, we can help you choose and set up the mechanism best suited to your requirements.

DONATIONS BY PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS

2. Reduction of IFI (tax on real property fortune) by 75% of the gift made, up to a limit of €50,000 (TEPA law).

3. Article 788 III provides for an allowance on the net share of the inheritance assets of any heir, recipient or legatee.

4. Set-term donation of usufruct gives the right to a reduction of the IFI tax base.

5. Article 885 G of the General Tax Code allows for deduction from the taxable IFI act of the value of bare ownership of property given with reserve of usufruct.
