SPONSORSHIPS

To propose sponsorship projects for the Miramare Museum, contact the Ufficio Promozione e Comunicazione

WHAT IS A SPONSORSHIP?

Sponsoring cultural heritage involves the participation of private individuals in bearing the costs for the conservation and management of cultural heritage and thus the association of the name, brand, image or product of businesses such as companies, firms, or partnerships, with a cultural asset or initiative.

TYPES OF SPONSORSHIP
The Public Administration can enter into three different types of sponsorship agreements:

  • Technical sponsorship: all or part of the project is designed and implemented by the sponsor. Services may consist of both works and instrumental services and supplies.
  • • Pure or financial sponsorship: the sponsor finances the payment obligations incurred by the Museum Management under the contract also by paying directly for them.
  • Mixed sponsorship: is a combination of the first two in which the sponsor can, for example, take care of the design only and provide funding for the planned work.
TAX TREATMENT
In terms of tax treatment, sponsorship expenses can be classified as:

  • advertising expenses:: paid for the implementation of initiatives that, mainly though not exclusively, aim at disseminating products, brands and services, or otherwise at directly increasing sales;
  • entertainment expenses: sincurred to enhance the prestige and image of the company and to enhance its development opportunities, without giving rise to the increase in sales.

The choice of the type of treatment is identified on the basis of the goals set.

The different qualification affects deductibility for direct tax purposes, as advertising expenses are fully deductible unlike entertainment expenses.

REGULATORY SOURCES
