peer agreement (net): +1donations Explanation: It appears to me that they might be making a differentiation between donations in cash and those in property, maybe. (Not that that comes out of the German) They make this distinction in USA tax returns. In any case, I think you would be safe in using donations for both. |

peer agreement (net): +1donations (contributions) and expenses Explanation: Unless things have changed since I was last in Germany, there is something akin to a church tax -- in short, state supported religious activities. Thus, 'Spenden' could be referring to expenses that must be paid and donations to those that are offered voluntarilyl. |
