What is an Event of Exceptional Public Interest?
Events of Exceptional Public Interest, in accordance with Article 27 of Law 49/2002 of December 23rd, on the tax regime of non-profit entities and tax incentives for sponsorship, are a model of public-private partnership that enables the implementation of important projects by involving the companies in the funding, promotion and disclosure process.
The realization of a specially relevant event can be declared an Event of Exceptional Public Interest by the Government of Spain, through its approval in the General State Budget. Thus, provided that ad hoc requirements are met , the donor companies will be entitled to apply the tax benefits in accordance with Article 27 of the aforementioned law.
These tax benefits imply the application of a Corporate Tax deduction to the donor company, up to 90% of the amount donated, taking into account the advertising investment made with the logo of the event in question.
