If you mean [broken link removed] tax relief then just to clarify - the recipient charity and not the donor benefits from tax relief on such donations. I think that self employed individuals or companies can write certain charitable donations off against tax though.gauloise said:Here is one of the links:

Reverting back to original poster, I understand that there is Tax relief for large donations, this is why a number of churches are looking into abolishing weekly contributions etc.. in favour of an anual donation.
Please note my earlier comments-how has this any relevance to the issue of the cost of a church for a wedding?gauloise said:The problem with this is that many just throw change into basket and how do you go about accounting for this with donors?
There are options available to people to avoid paying this amount of money on the day. If they don't exercise such options then that's their own problem.cibby said:daughter is getting married in June-average price of dresses when shopping all over Ireland was E3000; average price of cakes from reputable cake businesess and I mean average is E650; brides shoes E250--white satin, only wearable for one day; flowers?????? could be E500.

Priest and church use ("rental") for rehearsal/for wedding day; for several meetings before, at night after work, to get help with arranging ceremony/readings etc... a miserly "donation"!!!--I cannot believe one peson only gave E50 book voucher!!! I think sum of E350 is about right.....
Its not that they either ask for it nor seek it, it is just FAIR, despite their meagre salary, as it is extra to what their normal duties are.
Its the rest that annoy me--I hear lots of altar kids turn up as they are supposed to get money!!(who says? we don't need them nor did we ask for them, nor is there space for htem in this little church.(Should we say loudly in advance "no altar kids please?"
We are providing our own musicians which are family and friends whom we will give gifts to in thanks; there is no organist in thie church -just local groups who sing, and whom we wont need. Are we foregetting anything we need to pay for in relation to the church?--and we do NOT begrudge this.
