Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Website EasyHack: Ask users to contribute while they are running their download

Hi :)
It's fine in the UK too.  

There is some weird thing about the charity being able claim back any tax paid as long as the 
person making the donation has agreed to that.  I'm not quite sure how that fits in with charitable 
donations being tax-deductible but i would guess that only 1 side of the donation gets the bonus 
and i guess that's why you have to agree with the person making the donation if you are going to 
claim tax-back.  

I think most places just forget about it unless they get a particularly large donation from a 
single source.  
Regards from
Tom :)
