Volunteering

From a tax point of view, “volunteer work” is an activity that is usually carried out on a part-time basis and serves the common good of society. Typically, volunteering is carried out in charitable organizations such as associations or foundations. It is also possible to exercise such honorary office in legal persons under public law (municipalities, municipal institutions, etc.).

Income from such employment can be tax-exempt up to a certain amount.
