Instituto Burle Marx

donate your income tax

You can allocate part of your Brazilian income tax to support the Burle Marx Institute. Individual support for cultural projects is a form of contribution accepted by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (Receita Federal).

Taxpayers can benefit from the Rouanet Federal Law for the Promotion of Culture (Law no. 8,313/91, art. 18), provided they choose the complete tax return model, and may allocate up to 6% of the income tax due, with a 100% tax deduction of the amount invested.

In other words, you have the right to choose where up to 6% of your income tax due goes! What does this mean? It means that, if you file a complete tax return, you can decide where this amount goes and contribute even more to the country's education and culture! With a simple donation, you help keep alive the historical, artistic and landscape heritage created by Burle Marx and his collaborators, a legacy of inestimable value for Brazil and the world.

How does it work?

Choose the amount of your donation and get in touch with us. The amount allocated can be fully deducted from your income tax, with no impact on your refund or on other deductions (such as health and education).
Under the Federal Law for the Promotion of Culture, it is possible to allocate: Up to 6% of the tax due, for individuals. Up to 4% of the tax due, for companies taxed under the Real Profit (Lucro Real) regime.
To guarantee the deduction in your next tax return, the donation must be made by this date and declared in the complete income tax return model.
Once you get in touch, we will send you the bank details of the project account approved by the Ministry of Culture.
Once the deposit is confirmed, you will receive the patronage receipt (recibo de mecenato), the official document that guarantees the income tax deduction, along with the proof of the transaction.
Choose the complete model in your income tax return and declare the amount in the “Doações Efetuadas” (Donations Made) section of the Receita Federal program.
