It depends on the IPC (Institution of a Public Character) you donate to. Each IPC decides this under its own policy and IRAS's rules, and some set a minimum donation amount. Check the "Tax deductions" section on the IPC's page before you donate.

Before you donate

• Some IPCs set a minimum donation for tax deduction, and IPCs differ on whether separate donations can be added together to meet it.

  • For example, with a $30 minimum, one donation of $30 meets it. Two donations of $15 meet it only if the IPC adds them up.

  • If you plan to split your donation into amounts that only meet the minimum when added together, check with the IPC first.

• Donating anonymously does not stop you from getting a tax deduction. It only hides your name from other people on KampungSpirit in the "Recently donated" list. The IPC still receives your name and NRIC, which are needed to process the tax deduction.

After you donate

• The IPC issues any tax deduction receipt. KampungSpirit does not.

• IRAS's guidance says IPCs submit donation records to IRAS, and qualifying donations are included in your tax assessment automatically. You do not need to claim them yourself. IRAS's page also sets out the deduction rate and which donations qualify. See IRAS: Donations and tax deductions.

• Any deduction the IPC provides is reflected in your tax bill for the period 1 Jan 2026 to 31 Dec 2026 (Year of Assessment 2027).

• For questions about whether your donation qualifies, or about your receipt, contact the IPC directly.

• For questions about your own tax, use IRAS's channels. KampungSpirit cannot give tax advice.
