minus-squareLanyrdSkynrd [comrade/them, any]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·27 days agoCan they legally take that as a write off? It’s a donation from the person to the charity, McDonald’s is just holding it. They obviously still get the PR and free advertising from it, but I I seriously doubt they get a tax write off from it
minus-squarespectre [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·27 days agoI think there’s a popular misconception that companies can use these types of POS donations as their own write-off in an above-board manner. Of course, it would not at all be surprising if companies had tried or succeeded at doing it, but I have not seen any hard evidence that it happens.
