Tax return season is rarely the most popular time of year. However, among all the numbers and forms lies an opportunity that truly makes sense\u2014allocating 2% of your paid taxes.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a portion of the tax you have already paid, which you get to decide how to use. It is not an extra expense, but an opportunity to support organizations whose work often has a significant social impact. <\/span><\/p>\n

At INOVATO, we have long supported innovation, education, and active individuals who want to move things forward.<\/strong> That is why we would like to highlight several organizations and projects that we believe are worth supporting.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How to allocate 2% of your taxes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The process is simple. If you file your own tax return, fill out the relevant section directly in the form. If your employer performs your annual tax reconciliation, you fill out a separate declaration and deliver it to the tax office, usually by the end of April, according to the Slovensko.sk<\/a> portal. <\/span><\/p>\n

An individual can allocate <\/span>2%<\/b>, or potentially <\/span>3%<\/b>, if they have completed at least 40 hours of volunteer work in the given year and have a certificate to prove it. The minimum allocation amount is <\/span>3 euros<\/b>.<\/span>
\n<\/span> Legal entities can allocate <\/span>1% or 2%<\/b> depending on whether they meet specific conditions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

H2GP 2025 Chemnitz World Final<\/p><\/div>\n

New in 2026: Up to 6%<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The year 2026 brings an interesting update\u2014you can allocate <\/span>more than just 2%<\/b>. <\/span> Previously, we could only donate 2% to a non-profit organization. Now, if you meet the conditions, you can: <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • allocate <\/span>2% to one parent<\/b> and <\/span>2% to the other parent<\/b>,<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  • and simultaneously <\/span>2% (or 3% for volunteers)<\/b> to a non-profit organization.<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This means that <\/span>together you can allocate up to 6%<\/b> (or up to 7% if using the 3% volunteer option) of your paid taxes!<\/span><\/p>\n

    This new feature provides an opportunity not only to support a good cause in the public sector but also to <\/span>help your loved ones<\/b> who deserve it\u2014such as parents who are pension recipients.<\/span><\/p>\n

    What to look out for with this option<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    To take advantage of this new opportunity, a few simple conditions apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Taxes must be duly paid and the return filed within the set deadlines.<\/span>
      \n<\/span><\/li>\n
    • The parent to whom you want to allocate 2% must be a pension recipient (old-age, disability, or service pension after reaching retirement age).<\/strong><\/span>
      \n<\/span><\/li>\n
    • In the case of an annual tax reconciliation, you must provide the parent’s exact identification details (name, surname, birth number) in the declaration.<\/span>
      \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This way, you can divide your percentages to help not only others but also those closest to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

      A decision that makes sense<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      At INOVATO, we believe that change begins with concrete steps. Allocating 2% of your taxes is one of them. <\/span>It is a simple way to support health, education, innovation, or help people in difficult situations. <\/span>The decision only takes a few minutes. For someone else, however, it can mean a new start, a chance, or hope. <\/span><\/p>\n
