Your donations entitle you to a 30% tax reduction.
Beldefi ASBL is approved by the Belgian Federal Public Service Finance: each year, donations of €40 or more entitle you to a tax certificate.
What does it actually mean for you?
Once your donations reach €40 in total over the calendar year, you are entitled to a certificate. The benefit depends on who you are:
You get 30% of your donation back.
On a donation of €100, the State gives you back €30: your donation really only costs you €70.
Over the year: €40 → €12 · €200 → €60 · €500 → €150.
Your donation reduces your taxable profit.
The donation is deductible from your taxable profit, up to 5% of that profit (capped at €500,000).
E.g. profit €100,000 · donation €5,000 → taxed on €95,000. Talk to us or to your accountant.

Getting your certificate, step by step.
1. You make a donation
By bank transfer or by card, one-off or monthly. As soon as your donations reach €40 over the calendar year, you are entitled to the certificate.
2. You fill in the form
Under the “Tax certificate” tab (top menu), click “Request my certificate” and enter your name, your address and your national register number (or company number). The law requires us to collect this information. It only takes two minutes.
3. You receive your certificate
We issue your 281.71 certificate and declare it to the Federal Public Service Finance via Belcotax. You then enter it on your tax return.
Secure form — about two minutes.
A charity approved by the Belgian State.
Beldefi ASBL (company number 0723.596.244) is approved by the Belgian Federal Public Service Finance as an institution assisting developing countries, for the years 2025 and 2026 (decision of 26 June 2025).
This approval allows us to issue tax certificates and guarantees you the 30% tax reduction on the amount donated, as provided for by law (Article 145³³ of the Belgian Income Tax Code).
Transparency is at the heart of what we do: every donation goes to a specific project — wells, schools, orphans — and you can follow our achievements on the ground.

Your questions about the tax certificate.
What is the minimum amount for a certificate?
As soon as your donations total €40 within a single calendar year. You can reach this threshold with one donation or several — a monthly donation of €10, for example, easily exceeds it over the year.
How much will I actually get back?
The reduction is 30% of the amount donated. For €100 of donations over the year, you get €30 back through your taxes: your generosity really only costs you €70.
Why do you need my national register number?
It is a legal requirement: the Federal Public Service Finance requires this number (or the company number for a business) to link the certificate to your tax return. This information is used solely to issue your certificate and to file form 281.71; it is never passed on to any third party.
How will I receive my certificate?
After the end of the calendar year, we issue your certificate and declare it to the Federal Public Service Finance via Belcotax. Once the donor area is online, you will also be able to download it yourself at any time.
I made a bank transfer without giving you my details. What should I do?
Simply fill in the form above with your details and the IBAN you donated from: we will match your transfers and issue your certificate.
I represent a company. Is this possible too?
Yes. Enter your company number in the form: your donation is deductible from your taxable profit. For the details, check with your accountant or contact us.
