Sign up to viewTax deductibility
Whether a gift to Welcome BXL lowers your own taxes depends on where you pay them. Choose your country to see the rule that applies.
Belgian donations to Welcome BXL are not tax-deductible: the charity is not on the FPS Finance (FOD Financiën / SPF Finances) list of institutions approved to issue fiscal certificates (list checked 18 October 2026). Gifts are welcome but do not qualify for the 45% tax reduction.
Welcome BXL holds no Belgian fiscal recognition (it is not on the FPS Finance list of approved institutions), so the Transnational Giving Europe route is not available and Dutch donors cannot claim a deduction for gifts to it.
Welcome BXL is registered in Belgium. US donors generally cannot deduct gifts to non-US charities directly. To claim a deduction, route the gift through a US 'Friends of' fiscal sponsor or a donor-advised fund that performs equivalency determination (IRS Rev. Proc. 92-94).
This is general guidance, not tax advice. Confirm treatment with the charity or your tax advisor before donating.
