Tax reduction on donated gifts to BalticWaters

Companies

Companies can receive a tax reduction on donations to BalticWaters. Since April 2026, the foundation has been approved by the Swedish Tax Agency as a recipient of donations. This means that you can support our work for the Baltic Sea and reclaim part of your donation. BalticWaters’ advocacy work is not eligible for tax reduction.

A tax reduction is available under the following conditions:

• The donation must be monetary (not goods, services, or sponsorship).
• The donation must be made to a pre-approved recipient, such as BalticWaters.
• The amount must be at least SEK 2,000 per donation occasion and a maximum of SEK 800,000 per year and company.
• The tax reduction equals 20,6% of the corporate tax (if you donate SEK 800 000, your company will receive SEK 164,800 in tax reduction).

Private

Am I entitled to a tax reduction on my gift?
Yes, you are entitled to a tax deduction of 25 % if the following conditions are met:

• The recipient must be approved before you make your donation (which BalticWaters is).
• You must donate at least SEK 2,000 over the course of the year, and at least SEK 200 on a single occasion.
• The gift must be a monetary donation, and the tax reduction amounts to 25 % of the donated sum (up to a maximum of SEK 3,000 per year, which corresponds to total gifts of SEK 12,000).
