Which type of donation will you choose? It's up to you.

Provide support and attend events

If you wish to take part in WU Alumni events and also make use of WU Alumni Benefits (free or reduced-price access to events), the level of tax deductibility on your donation will be reduced by a small amount. This is because a certain portion is regarded as payment for benefits received.  Please note that all WU Alumni events are in German.

About Taxes and Cancellations

Flexible Cancellation

Your annual donation is paid to the WU via SEPA transfer for as long as you wish. Of course, you can at any time choose to suspend the annual transfer, change the amount or indeed cancel the transaction completely. Just get in touch with the WU Alumni Office for further assistance.  

Tax Savings

Under Austrian law, donations for the purposes of teaching and research made by private individuals (such as donations to the WU) may be tax-deductible, as long as the donation is not more than 10% of personal income. The WU is legally obliged to report the size of your donation to the tax office by the end of February of the following year at the latest. If you have an objection to such a report being sent, please inform us at alumni@wu.ac.at.
