FAQ

1. If I make a donation, am I entitled to tax deductions? Are there instances where my donations are not entitled for tax deductions?

Dover Park Hospice is awarded the status as an Institute of Public Character (IPC). Any outright cash donations are eligible for tax deduction subjected to the current tax policy which is at 2.5 times. Donations are to be made by 31 December to be included in the tax assessment on the prevailing year.

Any sponsorship or in-kind donations that include the display of marketing collaterals are regarded as advertising and hence not eligible for tax deduction.

2. Will I receive a tax deduction receipt for my donation?

Dover Park Hospice will no longer issue hard copy tax receipt for any donations receive from 1st April 2023 onwards. As Dover Park Hospice will transmit electronically the details of your donation to IRAS on your behalf. Tax deductions for your qualifying donations will be automatically reflected in your tax assessments. IRAS will no longer accept claims for tax deduction based on donation receipts.
