The French General Tax Code allows individuals liable for income tax (IR) to benefit from a reduction equal to 66% of their annual cash donations to certain public-interest organizations. This payment is made without any direct or indirect consideration for your benefit.

If you are liable for income tax, thanks to a donation, you can take part in numerous solidarity projects, particularly in the direction of public or private non-profit research, higher education or artistic teaching establishments.

The École du Louvre is authorized to receive this type of donation and to issue tax receipts accordingly, enabling you to reduce the amount of your income tax. By deciding to support its activities, you can deduct 66% of the amount of your donation to the École du Louvre from the income tax you pay. The maximum tax reduction is 20% of your taxable income.

Example: if you make a donation of 1,000 euros to the École du Louvre, your donation will only be worth 340 euros after your tax reduction, as you will receive a tax receipt that will reduce your tax by 660 euros.

The French General Tax Code allows individuals liable for property wealth tax (IFI) to benefit from a reduction equal to 75% of their annual donations to certain public-interest organizations. This payment is made without any direct or indirect consideration for the donor.

If you are liable for the IFI, a donation can enable you to take part in a wide range of solidarity projects, in particular in support of public or private non-profit research, higher education or artistic establishments.

The École du Louvre is authorized to receive this type of donation, and to issue tax receipts enabling you to reduce the amount of your IFI. If you decide to support the École du Louvre's activities, you will be able to deduct 75% of the amount of your donation from your tax liability. The maximum amount of IFI reduction granted is 50,000 euros per year.

Example: if you make a donation of 1,000 euros in favor of the École, your donation will really only weigh 250 euros after reduction of your IFI, since you will receive a tax receipt that will reduce this IFI by 750 euros.
