Dear friends,

We're conducting a donation drive for Singapore Leprosy Relief Association (SILRA Home) from 18 November to 28 December 2007.

The home is founded in 1971, it provides residential and basic nursing care to ex-sufferers of leprosy. As a result of their previous conditions, many of them suffer some forms of physical deformities. Currently, there are about 62 residents in the home of age 60 years and above. SILRA Home is in need of regular donation from the public to support the elderly in their medical care, daily neccessities and the maintenance of the home.

Double Income Tax Deductable
Donations to any approved Institution of Public Character (IPC) which benefit the local community is tax-deductible. Your donation to SILRA Home will qualify you for Double Tax Deduction. For instance, if you donate $2,000 to SILRA Home, Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) will deduct $4,000 from your income tax statement.

The donation details will be provided to IRAS by SILRA and the donation deductions will be included automatically in your tax assessment. Tax deduction is given for donations made in the preceding year. For example, if you make a donation in 2007, tax deduction will be allowed in your tax assessment for the Year of Assessment 2008. When the tax deduction for the donation exceeds the income for the year, you're allowed to carry forward the unutilised deduction for a maximum of 5 years.
