Donation FAQs
“Are my donations to ACRES tax deductible?”
Yes, donations to ACRES are eligible for 250% tax deduction. For example, if you donate $100 to ACRES, $250 will be deducted from your taxable income (not your final tax amount).
Individuals and businesses must provide your tax reference number (NRIC/FIN/UEN) in order to be given tax deductions on your donation. You do not need to declare the donation amount in your income tax return. Your donation details will given to IRAS and the tax deductible for your donations will be automatically reflected in your tax assessments.
