Businesses can claim deductions in certain expense categories, potentially reducing their tax liability.

For instance, gifts to certain categories of organisations may be capped at 10% of your<span>&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ringgitplus.com\/en\/blog\/income-tax\/malaysia-income-tax-an-a-z-glossary.html\">aggregate income<\/a>. Be sure to verify the limits for each donation category to ensure compliance with LHDN regulations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Documentation Requirements&nbsp;<\/strong><br>To claim your tax deduction, you must maintain proper documentation. This includes receipts or acknowledgment letters from the recipient organisations, which should include their LHDN registration number, the amount donated, and the date. Without these documents, your donation may not be accepted for tax deductions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Checking Recognised Institutions&nbsp;<\/strong><br>To determine if the institutions, organisations, or bodies you are donating to are recognised by LHDN, you can visit their<span>&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hasil.gov.my\/en\/quick-links\/services\/donation-approval\/\">official website<\/a><span>&nbsp;<\/span>for a comprehensive list. Keep in mind that donations made to organisations or charity bodies that are not listed by LHDN will not be eligible for tax deductions. For businesses, donations made to registered organisations can also help reduce taxable income, so it\u2019s important to keep detailed records of all charitable contributions.<\/p>\n<p>(<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Source:&nbsp;<\/span>LHDN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Image: 123rf\/Hafiz Ismail)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":268230141,"featured_media":233,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"{title}\n\n{excerpt}\n\n{url}","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[416],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tax-planning"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>9 Categories of Donations &amp;
