When Fast Food Places Ask You to “round up” for charity

981 viewsEconomicsOther

So McD’s asks you, when you pay, to round up the cost of your order for charity. My question is this: I’m giving the money to McD’s, not the charity. Am I then helping them get a bigger tax deduction for corporate giving? So my 18 cents they match means they get credit for a 36 cent charitable gift?

No. Companies do not get a tax deduction on the portion of the money you give. But you the donor can, but almost nobody does.
