Entitlement Derivation

At the time when the entitlement derivation for the donation is greater than the payment of the year, the passing donor (eg, persons, organizations, funds, assemblies of people) can forward the unused derivations for a limit of five years. . For example, a donation made in 2020 and derivation of charge allowed in YA 2021, will be allowed for transmission (if the charge provision for donation exceeds payment in 2020) until YA 2026.

Corporate Donors

Corporate donors must meet the participation test in case they need to deduct the unused donation charge derivation against their future payment (such as that enforced to guarantee the transmission of currency misfortunes and unused capital stipends). Unused donations will be classified for derivation after currency mishaps and capital remittances.

The Expense Reference Numbers 

All individuals and organizations must provide their names and expense reference numbers (eg NRIC / FIN / UEN) to supported IPCs when donating.

December 2023. Concerning the SG50, the Government expanded the valuation derivation for qualified donations from 250% to 300% of the donation measure made in 2015. The 300% derivation for donations produced between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2015 ( both dates cover) will be allowed to all current donors (eg people, organizations, funds, groups of people).
