Public can now apply for tax deductions on cash donations to non-profit outfits

KUALA LUMPUR: Those wishing to get tax deductions from their cash contributions to non-profit organisations, including schools, may now apply to the Finance Ministry to do so.

Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Donald Lim said while an amendment to the Income Tax Act 1967 was currently being prepared to implement the move, the public was welcome to apply directly to the ministry.
