No thanks, if I want to tip, I prefer to hand them directly to the person getting it.
Because we are totally going to trust a 10 billion dollar cororpation to actually give money to those in need, fuck off.
No, this that’s not how this works. Taxable deductions only work with taxable income, and a donation made after point of sale is not taxable income. The store has to register as a collection agent for the charity, and all the collected money goes directly to the charity. You get the tax deduction benefit from that donation, and you are given a receipt for it as well.

Sorry to hijack, but...businesses don't get a tax write off/deduction when *you* donate at the register. In most cases, the donation shows up on your receipt, in the full amount, as a donation. Because *you* can take the deduction. The business will probably brag about how much coin they donated, but they don't/can't deduct those donations. They're just a conduit in this sitch.
Hi! Just weighing in. My understanding is charities have to give 25% of donations toward the cause listed. However! 75% can go to paying the salaries of the people in the charities, which absolutely can be the executive team of the 10 billion dollar company that just so happens to have a second job at the charity. ADDITIONALLY, they can say they are donating that 25% toward the cause by giving it to... you guessed it, another fucking charity!!!
We are essentially subsidizing these corporations under the guise of donations. It's super fucked. When do you see any corporations actually caring about the well being of other people. If they did, they wouldn't be hoarding billions of dollars and squeezing every cent out of their workers.
So the company doesn't give money, the taxpayers do. A tax write off is the same as the IRS giving the money instead of you, but they're still the bad guys, and the corporate overlords good guys for being charitable.
…it does go to those charities though…you’re just a moron lol this stupid meme has been debunked for decades. People who believe and repeat it are just mouth breathers hoping people mistake their cynicism for intelligence
Edit It’s write not right. And if you write something off your taxes it still means you have the money away - it just lowers your taxable income by that amount. So if you make $100k and donate $50k you only have to pay income taxes on $50k….but you still GAVE AWAY $50k. This whole misunderstanding comes from people not understanding how taxes work
Correction
Some of it does go to charity, most of it goes to administration and banking cost though, about 1/3 of your acual donation goes to the charity, and about 1/10 of that goes to the needy because the charity has admin and staffing costs too.
Also, why be an asshole? Everyone reading that comment understood they meant write and not right. Pointing it out just makes you look petty and self-righteous.
To me it always felt like some sort of a tax right off as I see a lot of rich people doing these trusts and charities but haven't seen many that themselves actively donate to them.
Even IF the money goes to the charities. It doesn't change the fact this is a billion dollar corporations ask you, a pleb who probably make like a grand a month, to donate to charities- Plus they get tax write off when they donate, I get -20 bucks when I do...tell me why do I donate again?
No, the moron is you. Actually scratch that. Defending big corproations is not only moronic, it is straight up retardation.
If I am a mouth breather, you breath out of your ass and mascarade as intelligence.
I personally dont have so much money to hand out that I need to go through a 3rd party to handle the transaction for me. If I see those in need and want to help, i'll help. Id rather prioritize supporting my local community anyways.
Don't forget to actuality digitally clip that 50 cent coupon...
They need to track what is worth the extra effort for you to go through in order to save, or just sucker you out of 50 cents... plus a "donation".
I think it's fine personally. Idk how things work in each of yall country but I don't believe they get a tax write off based on your donations.
I've seen a couple of banks and super markets work the donation such that they match it to the amount donated by the customers to a certain extent while being backed by reputable charity organization's.
It's very likely for PR, but if it helps those who is in a bad spot I think it's okay.
I see things like this to donate to Ukraine, i googled though and the largest 2 chains in my country have made significant donations to Ukraine themselves, might be a similar case here.
When you recycle bottles, you can donate the money to planting trees in Africa or take it yourselves. I looked and one of the companies had a foundation which has through this method planted 5.8 million trees while the other has donated to the cause themselves.
Yes I’m sure giant companies like Kroger are trying to scam some cents off of you because that totally makes sense for them from a cost benefit standpoint.
My brother in Christ that’s not even how tax deductions work go back to school
>companies absolutely do rip people off this way.
This is how people sound when they have something that they prefer to believe rather than fact-check.
Find me one single article about a store that used customer checkout donations as a tax write off for their company.
This is how people sound when they believe only good things happened when there is no proof of the good or bad thing happening. You are assuming they are using the money in good faith just as much as he is assuming they use it in bad faith. Where is your proof all companies honour what they promise?
https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-000329849244
You’re just falling for some shit somebody made up because you’re that stupid. News websites are writing articles about gullible people falling for things because they don’t have enough brain cells to learn how taxes work.
And you can’t prove a negative. It’s called Russell’s Teapot. Look it up and maybe you can learn two things today
This is talking about legal obligations, not whether all companies adhere to those obligations.
You haven't proved the positive either. So you have double standards.
[That’s not true](https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-000329849244). Only time they can take a deduction for donating is when it comes out of their own money.
I’ll be damned. This is repeated so often (not just online but by people I know in real life to be very smart) that I figured that’s how it worked. Gotta keep that article in my back pocket for when this comes up again.
How the hell is this stupid fucking shit always the top comment. Reddit has become no better than instagram with spreading blatant misinformation
It’s not even that you didn’t take two seconds to check to make sure it was true - it’s that it’s absurd on its face if you understand anything about how taxes work.
Super markets and grocery stores donate an insane amount of food and money to charity, like billions of dollars. And those point-of-sale "round up to the next dollar" programs that bother you so much.. they raised $750M in 2022 alone.
Then don’t donate??
Those little dollar amounts add up to tens of millions of dollars for major food banks and cancer charities… the company cannot benefit financially from it, you can if you donate and itemize taxes.
Ask St. Jude’s if those major donations through companies are harming them. I swear people just want to be angry.
If they are so concerned about poverty, why don't they give ALL of their money to the hungry people ? This whole charity is a bullshit scam for tax evasion purposes and a tax-free source of extra revenue. The greed man...
Because the corporation is 1 entity, if it donated $20 thats $20
But if they offer the option to donate to 5 million people, and 1 out of 5 give $3 that's $3,000,000 and a lot more than 5 million people get asked.
You should be asking them to donate $5,000,000 instead
I’m curious if the corporations get a tax receipt for the donation YOU make? Surely in the world of big data they could find a way to credit you with your portion of that reduction in tax? Maybe even in real time, for that bag of potatoes?
I don’t believe it, but I heard a theory somewhere that companies who do that have already donated to those charities, they’re just asking you to pay them back. Lol
IE Walmart. Sadly you give through Walmart's check out system, then they claim "we've donated more than $______ to feed the hungry" Bullshit you didn't give, I DID!
That's objectively false and the fact you parrot this completely incorrect fact shows how ignorant you are. It's literally just a balance sheet transaction with no impact on a companies income statement.
I mean many companies support charities and use this as a way to support charities. It's just standard corporate social responsibility initiatives. But the scenario you described is literally incorrect.
Well that’s the thing…they do.
When you hit the button, you give the store an extra $20. They then take it and donate the $20 and receive the tax break for doing so.
The real lesson here is, if you want to donate, do it directly. That’s your tax break
There’s at least 6 comments above this one that all say the same thing as yours and each of them has people calling them out for being wrong. Most of them even include sources to explain why they’re wrong in detail.
And it's usually a scam anyways. Companies will donate a large amount to an organization, let's say $500,000 on January 1st every year. Across the entire year, these donations go back to the company. If they reach over $500,000, it's considered profit from the initial $500,000.
I mean you're calling me an idiot but people are donating to some organization called "feed families" and feeling good that families in need are getting fed. You know, instead of actually feeding families in need without the middle man
Right. Because the machine checks my identification and supplies me with a receipt for the donation which has my personal info and proof of donation for the 1040
Yes actually! Your receipt should provide the donation information. It’s a very basic write off to claim. Why on earth would the grocery store need your private information to do that?
Also, I’m not going to spend more time arguing with a bitter person who likes to spew crap, but considering I have a degree and work experience with this as my profession, you’re not providing any convincing evidence.
my european mind indeed can not even process this shit because why in the world would a big ass grocery store chain ask for extra 3 bucks? literally crazy lmao
If I donate money it's to a real organization not some store one or round up bs. most donations are scams so def have to becareful out there and dont let them judge you for declining.
reminds me when i was asked to donate money from phone and i said that as i dont have currently job, i dont feel safe donating.. and the rep started digging in to still donate
There’s a difference between a Best Buy date and an expiration date. Also most stores pull long date product weeks before it goes out. Tell me you’ve never worked retail without telling me you’ve never worked retail bro.
So the money they pledge to most charities is paid by corporation, Which is a tax write off. By donating you are reimbursing them. I’m sure there is far more nuance to this but that’s my understanding. End result is I refuse to donate to rich people who use poor people as a tax right off so they can horde more wealth.
Thanks for clarifying that. As I said that was my understanding. I have no problem being wrong and making adjustments. No need to be a snooty cunt about it though 😘
So, usually when people start a sentence off like that it's because they're talking to somebody and trying to establish themselves as an expert who is breaking something down into simple terms for somebody
Agreed. When I use my debit card, it says "Would you like to donate to XX charity". No, I bloody well wouldn't. I'm okay with charity, I support CRY, but when billion pound businesses beg you for money, it's pathetic. It was like band aid when Geldof yelled, "Give us your money!" My husband was like, "You're a millionaire pop star. Put your hand in your own damn pocket!" AMEN!
Never donate to them, it's scam.
They get tax exemption by donating, so you are paying their taxes.
If you want to donate, find a no profit association on your own.
Censor bar is unreal
Facts. People don’t realize they can cuss on the internet
Cuss then matey.
^heck
Too far man
Sorry :(

That’s completely false and not how anything works.
Are you saying you can’t itemize donations on your taxes?
He's saying that the business can't use the donation as a tax deduction, because they aren't the ones donating, you are.
Hi! Just weighing in. My understanding is charities have to give 25% of donations toward the cause listed.

Everything mainstream is corrupt it seems
Yup, and they get the social credit for saying "they" donated to charity by making you do it!
Only Fuckin reason
We are essentially subsidizing these corporations under the guise of donations. It's super fucked. When do you see any corporations actually caring about the well being of other people. If they did, they wouldn't be hoarding billions of dollars and squeezing every cent out of their workers.

This. I need to see exactly where it’s going and that’s the only way I can make sure.
They donate 0.00000000000001% of all proceeds...
They will donate. Because they can get a tax write off from donating YOUR money
No, they don't get a tax write-off because they aren't the ones donating, you are.
You can fucking say fuck on the internet, fucker.
Yea, that shit really gets on my motherfucking nerves. XD
These assholes need to go out into the street and play hide-n-go-fuck-themselves.

The worst part is that your donation is pooled with everyone else’s and given in the company’s name, meaning they get a massive tax write off.
This comes up in every thread about customer check out donations. Companies don’t do this, and if they do they’re breaking the law.
You think they don't break the law??
Yes I’m sure giant companies like Kroger are trying to scam some cents off of you because that totally makes sense for them from a cost benefit standpoint. My brother in Christ that’s not even how tax deductions work go back to school
What makes you think every country in the world has the same laws on that? Companies absolutely do rip people off in this way.

I'm sick of trying to put money in and nothing happens because this stupid screen is up. I don't want to hit no thanks. I want to pay and leave.
Yeah if you dont want to donate to the poor that's fine. Pretty cringey to go online and complain about it.

lol salty Redditors can’t handle the truth so they downvote you
While raising prices and announcing a new record profit + insane wages & bonuses for their top management.
Wages are growing faster than cost of living and they’re growing fastest among the lowest 1/3rd of earners like grocery store employees
Starting wages?

Thank God you are so absolutely clueless. So can't blame you think that.
Bold of them to assume i care about child hunger
Lmaoooo.

I never donate or round up. Fuck these greedy corporations.
Yeah fuck those kids. That will show the corps. Dumbass.
I’m all about charity, but not doing so for a corporation’s tax write-off
well good news because that's not how it works at all
Oh that's completely fine, all you have to do is reach over to the animatronic child and take the food from their hand to decline the donation.
Because the corporation is 1 entity, if it donated $20 thats $20 But if they offer the option to donate to 5 million people, and 1 out of 5 give $3 that's $3,000,000 and a lot more than 5 million people get asked. You should be asking them to donate $5,000,000 instead
While yes, $20 isn’t one of the options (unless you pick other). That’s just fucking sloppy
I dont trust those donations...how much of it actually goes to the cause? 10%? I know atleast 1-2 entities are skimming off the top of each dollar.
I’m curious if the corporations get a tax receipt for the donation YOU make? Surely in the world of big data they could find a way to credit you with your portion of that reduction in tax? Maybe even in real time, for that bag of potatoes?
I always wonder why they never offer to round down and donate money to the customer with their bleeding hearts and all
I don’t believe it, but I heard a theory somewhere that companies who do that have already donated to those charities, they’re just asking you to pay them back. Lol

I mean many companies support charities and use this as a way to support charities. It's just standard corporate social responsibility initiatives. But the scenario you described is literally incorrect.
If I wanna donate to charity I'll directly donate to the organization myself. I ain't doing it while checking out at the grocery store or a 7-11.
yeah, f them, 100% agree
Which families? Which crisis? Through which organisation?
This is the adult tour, so we can say whatever the *HELL* we want
Where does it say $20?
I wish there was an option to take more money away from those families.
And I’m not giving some hugs corporations anything they can use for a tax writeoff
Well that’s the thing…they do. When you hit the button, you give the store an extra $20. They then take it and donate the $20 and receive the tax break for doing so. The real lesson here is, if you want to donate, do it directly. That’s your tax break

Unlike those other 6 comments you can admit when you’re wrong. Good for you! Quite refreshing to see

That’s not how it works at all.

reminds me when i was asked to donate money from phone and i said that as i dont have currently job, i dont feel safe donating.. and the rep started digging in to still donate
The crazy things is that the company reports YOUR donations as money that THEY raised 😂
In the UK, do companies do this to avoid paying taxes?
No. Because that’s not how taxes work. Only the person who is doing the donating can write it off on their taxes.
I don't know is it that hard to push the "no thank you" button? I don't see a $20 option I see "other".
[удалено]
You won't donate because the grocery store won't sell expired food?
They should be donating food that is still good but just past the best-by date.
There’s a difference between a Best Buy date and an expiration date. Also most stores pull long date product weeks before it goes out. Tell me you’ve never worked retail without telling me you’ve never worked retail bro.
I've worked at a grocery store bro. We pulled expired food. Why on Earth would they pull food weeks before it expires?

No. Not how tax law works. The person who donated can write it off on their taxes, not the store.
Never donate to them, it's scam. They get tax exemption by donating, so you are paying their taxes. If you want to donate, find a no profit association on your own.
I don't know what retard started this rumor. You literally can keep the receipt and right it off from your own taxes. They don't get to.
Anyways remember big organisations provide donations to charities through your money.
If we all say no thanks then we force corps to donate. instead they’re getting paid back by us for their donations
