 Tax authorities may have to verify donations manually which can be time 
consuming, involving in a disproportionate amount of effort for the tax 
authorities. The donor on the other hand has to keep track of the donation 
receipt which may get lost.

-Problems arise when donating to foreign countries due to the lack of 
standardisation of donations. Charities that are recognized in one country are 
not necessarly recognized as such in another country. Donations made to a 
charity abroad which is not recognized by one's own country are thus not 
elegable for tax reduction.
+For every donation the donor wants the donation to be tax deductible, the 
adressed charity has to be recognized by the local tax authority. However, it 
can happen that donations to unrecognized charities are mistakenly deducted or 
that donations to recognized charities are not deducted. This misconduct has 
found attention by Michiel Leenaars from the NLnet Foundation\footnote{see

 Out of scope was the charity implementation which would have been integrated 
into the Taler merchant and the donor client implementation which would have 
been integrated into the Taler wallet. Unlike the charity integration, the 
donor part of the taler wallet is payment system dependent. In other words, 
since the taler wallet can only make donations with the taler payment system, 
it could only receive donation receipts for this. The administrator interface 
was also not realized, which wo [...]
