At the end of November 2023, the Polish Arabian Horse Breeders Association became a public benefit organisation (PBO) under the law of the Republic of Poland. Pursuant to this decision of the National Court Register (NCR), PAHBA became eligible, among others, for 1.5% personal income tax donations.

Having the status of a public benefit organisation, PAHBA was also granted the opportunity to provide free-of-charge information about its statutory activities via radio and television and the right to use real estate owned by the State Treasury or local governments on preferential terms and conditions. Furthermore, the Association was exempted from certain taxes and levies as well as court and stamp duty.

How can you support PAHBA? The motion to donate 1.5% of one’s personal income tax to a PBO is included in the annual tax return. When filling it in, simply enter the Association’s NCR number, i.e. KRS 0000090276, in the appropriate field along with the amount to be donated. Detailed information about settlements is available on the website of the Polish Ministry of Finance.

Being a PBO will help the Association develop its activities related to Arabian horse breeding in Poland, to sports and races, as well as help it better reach any and all groups of stakeholders, both in Poland and abroad.
