Thanks. And I also think this law should apply to more countries. Nothing wrong with having more blood donors. That is cool info man ! Thanks.

For Czech taxpayers it started over 30 years ago. If you became blood donor in Czech, you are eligible to deduct certain amount of money from your taxable income. Of course amount of taxable income eligible to be deduct raised over years. I do not have current numbers however 4 years ago it was approx. $100 for one donor session (0.5 litre of blood). That means that you could lower your tax by $20-$40 (depending on your tax level). As donor can give blood every 3 months, it could amount up to $80-$160 taken out of your taxes. And, best of all on this scheme is, that you saved lives while legally lowering "bloody taxes". Isn't that amusing? ;-) This is nothing new. For Czech taxpayers it started over 30 years ago.
