When to submit donation records

Yearly Submission
2 Jan to 31 Jan
IPCs must submit all tax-deductible donation records received in the previous calendar year by 31 Jan annually. We strongly encourage you to do so early.

How to submit donation records

Before you start

You must be authorised with 'Approver' role for the 'Submission of Donation Records' digital service via Corppass.

For assistance on Corppass authorisation, refer to the step by step guide (PDF, 547KB).

Submit donation records

IPCs are required to submit donation records to IRAS via Application Programming Interface (API). To do so, IPCs can either adopt a Donation Management System (DMS) that is integrated with IRAS’ Donation API service or integrate the API into their in-house systems.

IRAS’ Donation API service enables IPCs to meet their filing obligations to IRAS seamlessly via software, while supporting the digitalisation efforts of IPCs in their donation management process. This is also part of IRAS’ overall efforts to partner with our tax ecosystem to make taxpaying easier and more seamless.


The Donation API service allows for faster, easier and more accurate submissions, and also supports amendments of donation records submitted previously and for past years’ records.
