The General Inspectorate of Finance recommends planing tax reductions, which would bring back 450 million euros in state funds, to the detriment of associations and households.
Limiting tax reductions to replenish the state funds, it is the shock proposal made by the General Inspectorate of Finance in a report submitted in May 2025 to the Government. Objective: to save 450 million euros. Because with the COVID crisis, inflation and the recovery plan, the amount of public funds paid to associations has skyrocketed since 2019, to reach 43 billion euros in 2023.
Currently, a taxpayer can deduct from its taxes 66 % of its donations, up to a limit of 20 % of its income. The authors of the report offer to reduce this ceiling to 2,000 euros. Another proposal for donations to associations for helping people, such as Restos du Coeur or the Red Cross: the deduction, which is 75 % rising today would increase to 66 %. These tracks are only at the proposal stages, because they would directly impact households and associations which would risk seeing their revenues drop.
