TAX DEDUCTIBILITY IN AUSTRIA

Procedure for Donors

The Register of Tax-Deductible Organizations (ZER) facilitates verification of tax deductibility.

1. Online Verification
Donors may search the BZSt online register by name, registered office, or charitable purpose in order to verify the organization’s status.

The ALBERTINA’s registration in the ZER confirms its general eligibility for tax-deductible donations.

2. Donation Receipt
Upon receipt of your donation, the ALBERTINA will issue an official donation receipt (Zuwendungsbestätigung) in accordance with the prescribed format.

For this purpose, we require:

• Full name or company name
• Full address
• If applicable, the desired project designation

The receipt will be sent either by post or digitally.

3. Tax Deduction
Since 2025, donations in Germany are tax-deductible only if the recipient organization is listed in the Register of Tax-Deductible Organizations (ZER).

The ALBERTINA’s registration in the ZER ensures that your donation meets the requirements for deduction as special expenses pursuant to Section 10b EStG.

All personal data will, of course, be treated confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.

For individual inquiries, the Sponsoring, Fundraising & Membership Department will be pleased to assist you.
