The IRAS website says foreigners can claim tax deduction of 2.5-3x the amount of donations made from 2014 to 2021. Does this apply to Cash Donations made to charities via platforms like Giving.sg?

To be more specific, if I donate $100 to a charity (which is a registered IPC) via giving.sg, will I qualify for a $250 deduction on my taxes? Also, is there a cap on the tax relief amount one can enjoy from donations?

As long as you have provided your details to the charity, it should be factored in.

Do note that the amount is offset from the chargeable income. It is not a direct deduction of the income tax payable.

You can use the calculator to find out the income tax payable after all the deductions and/or reliefs.

[ST Premium] Used more air-con during work from home? It's now easier to claim tax deduction, says Iras

Made a donation on street, was told that 100% of the proceeds go to the charity, but found out later on the website that 30% of the donation goes to the fundraising service provider. Felt cheated :/

For cash top-up to spouse and children, what is the maximum top-up for each in order to claim tax relief for YA 2021. Spouse is 51, children are 23 and 25. Any advice?

If I make a housing refund with cash to my CPF, is that amount tax deductible?

Which charities eligible for tax deductions in Singapore and which are you donating to?
