Tax relief for Dutch and international donors

Donations to a cultural ANBI (Public Benefit Organisation) such as the Van Gogh Museum are tax deductible. To make the most of this tax relief, you can enter into a recurring donation agreement with the museum for a minimum of five years. This way, your net contribution can be as low as € 664.37 per year.

An example of a donation agreement in Dutch (pdf) is available on the Dutch Tax Administration (Belastingdienst) website. We would be happy to send you a copy, or you can download it.
