ANBI details

This is a translation. In case of differences, the Dutch version prevails.

Layan Foundation is a registered Dutch charity with ANBI status

The Dutch Tax and Customs Administration recognises Layan Foundation as an Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling (ANBI), a public benefit organisation. This means that the foundation does not have to pay tax on gifts it receives. Donors can also benefit from tax advantages. But what exactly does ANBI status mean, and how does it work?

When does an organisation get ANBI status?

The Dutch Tax and Customs Administration grants ANBI status to organisations that devote at least 90% of their work to the public good. Think of organisations active in healthcare, development cooperation or education. Charities and cultural institutions, for example, can qualify as an ANBI.

Conditions for ANBI status

To be designated an ANBI, an organisation must not only contribute to the public good, but also meet specific conditions. For example, it may not have a profit motive. The organisation must also make public, among other things, its contact and financial details, its policy plan and its activities. This allows anyone to check how an ANBI operates.

How you benefit from our ANBI status

ANBI status offers tax advantages, which makes giving attractive for donors. This applies to both one-off and periodic donations. Under certain conditions, donors may deduct their donations from Dutch income tax or corporation tax.

Are donations to charities tax-deductible? (in Dutch)

Layan Foundation does not have to pay tax on gifts and inheritances it receives. So no tax is taken off your donation.
