Tax issues when writing a cheque to a charity?

[johnnyv]

Hello,

I run a business.

I've just written a cheque for a charity donation.

How do I handle this regarding tax etc.?

Thank you.

Provided its over €250 then the Charity can claim back the tax. For them to do this you need to fill out a form.

I've just written a cheque for a charity donation.

Is this a personal or a company donation? Are there not different rules for charitable donations from a company as opposed to an individual - e.g. where the company can claim tax relief unlike the individual situation where the charity can claim tax back on individual cumulative donations over €250 in any one year as explained above?
