New taxback initiative expected to boost charity donations by millions

A new digital charity taxback initiative, which could help charities receive millions of euro in additional income, has begun operation.

A County Galway firm has become the first in Ireland to get permission from Revenue to introduce the new e-signature process.

iDonate, which is part of Western Webs in Tuam, has been given the go-ahead for its initiative. This involves the automation of digital signatures for people making voluntary donations of €250 or more.

Charities can receive a 45 per cent boost on all donations when donors fill in charity tax-relief forms. However, previously this could only be done on paper.
