Your questions
Q> Tax reduction, Tax deduction or Tax credit ?
A> A tax reduction is an amount subtracted from the amount of tax (for example: the tax reduction for donations to organizations of general interest).
A tax deduction occurs before the tax is calculated. It corresponds to a right to decrease the overall income that you declare, such as the reduction of actual costs.
A tax credit is an amount also subtracted from the amount of tax (for example: the tax credit for childcare expenses) and allows him to benefit from a refund from the taxman.

Q> What are the changes implied by the source deduction in application since January 1, 2019 and how does it work ?
A> The withholding tax changes absolutely nothing for the donors, all the tax reductions are maintained. Donations made to ALEDD during 2020 will be taken into account when the income tax return is made in spring 2021.
From now on, the tax will be deducted directly from the income of taxable taxpayers.
