In Singapore, charitable giving is not just a way to make a positive impact on society; it also comes with 
attractive tax benefits. As more Singaporeans look for ways to give back to their community, 
understanding the tax implications of donations can help you maximize your contributions while 
minimizing your tax burden. 
Understanding Tax Deductions for Donations 
The Singaporean government encourages charitable giving by offering tax deductions for donations 
made to approved Institutions of Public Character (IPCs). Here's what you need to know: 
 
250% Tax Deduction: For every dollar you donate to an approved IPC, you can claim a 250% tax

Qualifying Donations: Cash donations, gifts of shares, and artifacts are all eligible for tax deductions. 
No Minimum Amount: There's no minimum donation amount required to claim tax benefits, making it 
accessible for donors of all capacities.
