By supporting the Clínic Foundation, you actively participate in funding the research groups subsidised by the Foundation. Your donations enable us to play an important part in the great adventure that is clinical research, an adventure that ultimately benefits patients.

On behalf of our patients and our research teams, Thank you!

The National Budget (Supplementary Provisions) Act 2006 sets out the rules designed to support science research and technology development. In particular, Article 35 of the Corporation Tax (Revised Text) Act (TRLIS) approved by Royal Legislative Decree 4/2004, of 5 March (B.O.E. of 11 March) provides for tax relief in respect of research and development activities.

The deduction for expenditure on research and development activities is calculated as follows:

• 30% of the average tax base of the two previous years, plus 50% of the excess over and above said average;
• 20% of expenses for research personnel exclusively devoted to R&D;
• expenses for projects contracted with universities and technological innovation centres;
• and 10% of investment in tangible and intangible fixed assets, excluding immovable property and land, if exclusively employed in R&D activities.

A donation will enable you to deduct up to 35% (25% for individuals) from the deduction base, providing that the base of this deduction does not exceed 10% of the tax base.

Moreover, individuals can deduct 10% of the sums donated from income tax.

For example:

• The real cost of making a €25 donation is €16.25
• The real cost of making a €50 donation is €32.50
• The real cost of making a €100 donation is €65
