Comment tax offset (Score 1) 596
I like the idea of offsetting charitable donations against tax. It seems a very good thing. We don't have that in the UK. However, I only give to one charity regularly. It is the poppy appeal, http://www.poppy.org.uk/ they raise money to look after soldiers wounded in conflict. In my experience, a lot of charities are just self sporting institutions with far too many directors and accountants.
