There are the following possibilities to prove donations for tax-privileged purposes:

Proof according to a donation confirmation / donation receipt
You must have an original donation receipt. Since 2013, the tax office also accepts a Paypal account statement as proof of the donation made.

Proof according to the company tax office
With this proof, the donations and contributions made for tax-privileged purposes were certified by the company tax office, for example, in a separate and uniform declaratory statement.

Proof according to electronic transmission
In this case, the data required for donations and contributions for tax-privileged purposes were confirmed by the recipient by means of electronic transmission to the tax authorities.

For donations up to 200 Euro, it is usually sufficient for the tax authorities if you can provide a receipt or a copy of the bank statement as proof.
