This expenditure that is not thought to be enough to declare the right to a tax credit equivalent to 66% of the sums paid, which is a lot!
When it comes to taxes, many taxpayers are looking for means to reduce the note. Most already know the advantages of childcare costs, certain works, employment at home or donations to associations, but few think of another lever, however just as effective. This is an expenditure often forgotten, sometimes even considered harmless, and yet it can give the right to a refundable tax credit, even for non -taxable persons. This advantage is aimed at different audiences, including employees and officials, but also retirees, unemployed and soldiers.
These are union contributions, in other words the sums that an employee or a member voluntarily pays a professional union to support his actions (defense of employee rights, negotiation of collective agreements, etc.). In terms of taxes, this gives the right to a tax credit equal to 66 % of the contributions paid, up to 1 % of your gross taxable income, indicates the public service site.
In other words, if your gross taxable income is 30,000 euros, your union contributions are selected up to a limit of 300 euros (30,000 euros x 1 %). You can obtain a tax credit of 198 euros (300 euros x 66 %). This tax credit is refundable, which means that even if you are not taxable, you can benefit from it. Soldiers are also concerned, if they pay contributions to “National professional associations of representative soldiers”specify the authorities. But for that, it is still necessary to indicate this expenditure on his declaration of income …
Union contributions must be indicated in boxes 7AC, 7AE or 7AG, in the “Reductions and tax credits” section of the declaration form n ° 2042 RICI. Keep the payment proofs provided by your union, although it is not necessary to attach them to your declaration.
