CARE has been granted status as an Institution of a Public Character (IPC) with effect from 1 November 2010. This means that all donations to CARE are income tax deductible and automatically deducted. To enjoy the exemption, click on ‘How To Donate’ and follow the simple procedure.

How To Donate

Donations may be made by an individual, a company or an organisation.
Donations may be made at any time.

All donations will be receipted, as provided for below:

  • In Cash – This must be handed over to a member of CARE staff and will be immediately receipted by the latter by issue of an official receipt in the name of the donor. Cash donations should not be sent by post.
  • By Cheque – This must be crossed and made payable to “Catholic AIDS Response Effort”, with the donor’s particulars clearly printed at the back.  If the donation is sent by post, the receipt will be posted back.

By GIRO – The arrangements for this are being finalised and will be updated here shortly. No receipt will be issued for payment via GIRO.

Tax Deductible Donations

  1. All donations to an IPC are tax deductible.
  1. To enjoy this, wef 1 Jan 2011, all donors must provide their Tax Reference ((ie NRIC, FIN, UEN, etc) to the IPC when making the donation. The IPC will submit returns of donors monthly to the Controller of Income Tax, who will automatically deduct the donation from the donor’s assessable income. The donor need not do anything, and need not include the donation or its receipt in the Income Tax Returns.
  1. Tax deductible receipts are no longer necessary, and receipts issued by the IPC may be kept for personal record purposes. CARE will continue to issue receipts for payments received except for GIRO transactions.
