Make Your Gifts Go Further – At No Extra Cost to You

What you need to know

If you have kindly donated a total amount of €250 or more to the ISPCA in any of the past four years (2020–2024), your generosity could make an even bigger impact! Through the Revenue Commissioner’s Tax Relief Scheme, we can reclaim tax on your donations, increasing their value by up to 45%.

Only you can release the tax relief on your gifts from Revenue. Without your action, this vital support for vulnerable and neglected animals across Ireland will be lost.

How It Works

It’s very simple and takes just a few minutes to complete the process.


By completing these simple steps, you can give even more animals a second chance—without spending a cent more!

How Much Good Can My Tax Form Do?

If your total donations amount to €250 or more in a year (for example, just €21 a month), they could be worth at least an additional €112 in tax relief—enough to fund vaccinations for a rescued animal! 

Here is how it’s calculated:  

  • The rate of tax relief for charities is a blended rate of 31%, no matter your personal tax rate. 
  • The gross donation is calculated as 100% / (100% – 31%) = 144.93% of the net donation. Here is how this would apply to a kind donation of €250: 250*100/69 = €362.32. The tax refund will be €362.32-€250 = €112.32. 

Here are other example examples:

Donation Amount    

   Additional Value from Tax Relief    

   Value After Tax Relief is applied    
€250 €112 €362.32
€500 €224.66 €724.64
€750 €337 €1,086.99
€1,000 €449.29 €1,449.29

 

Remember: only you can unlock the tax relief on your gifts. Without it, this extra, urgent help for Ireland’s vulnerable and neglected animals will be lost forever.
