Corporate charity

How businesses should donate — taxes and documents

Details

  • Deduction limit

    Charitable spend deductible up to 4% of prior-year taxable profit.

  • Contract with the fund

    Targeted or untargeted contribution; payment purpose is critical for accounting.

  • Employee volunteering

    Paid volunteer days — an HR policy, not a charitable expense; formalize by internal order.

  • PR vs statutory purpose

    A public campaign needs transparent reporting; 'we donated a photo' without documents is a risk.

Corporate charity works as reputation only with documents: contract + act + the fund's spending report. For employee fundraisers — a separate internal procedure, never mixed with company funds.
