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.
%standardisation
-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 \url{https://nlnet.nl/}}. He has noticed that donations to their organization from other countries are sometimes not deducted from the taxes of their donors, although this should be the case.

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 would have provided a user-friendly interface to manage the charities.
