Tax benefits
A donation certificate is issued to the donor upon receipt of each contribution. This document serves as proof for accounting purposes and allows, where applicable, for the tax deduction of the donation amount in accordance with the regulations in force at the donor’s place of residence or the company’s registered office.
The donors domiciled in Switzerland can deduct their donations from their taxes, in accordance with the legislation in force in the donor’s place of residence or the headquarters of the donating institution.
For taxpayers residing in the United States, a solution allowing equivalent tax benefits may be offered for donations exceeding CHF 10,000.–.
Donor recognition
In order to honor in a distinctive and lasting manner the patrons committing before the official opening of the MACH, they will be considered as “founding donors” and will benefit from unique recognition and visibility. They will have the opportunity to see their name inscribed on a commemorative plaque within the Maison des Arts & de la Culture Horlogère (MACH).
Beyond this long-term recognition, certain benefits in kind, in accordance with the applicable framework, may subsequently be granted to patrons and donors.
Each level of support entitles you to specific benefits. Feel free to contact us for more information.
