Tax authority urges donation-receiving organisations to adopt digital systems for income tax deduction records to streamline donor reporting.
Taiwan’s National Taxation Bureau of the Northern Area has urged donation-receiving agencies and organisations to participate in the digitisation of documents related to donation deductions under the Comprehensive Income Tax, aligning with energy-saving and carbon-reduction policies. Joining the system will allow donors’ information to be included in the tax authority’s database, making it easier for taxpayers to access income and deduction data when filing their annual returns.
The announcement was issued on 3 December 2025.
The Bureau explained that agencies and organisations that have not yet provided consent but wish to participate should submit the completed consent form and basic information, along with copies of documents such as the approval letter from the competent authority, corporate registration certificate issued by the court, and organisational charter (all copies must be certified as consistent with the originals and stamped). Submissions may be made by email (deduction@ntbna.gov.tw), fax (03-335-1567), or post (No. 156, Sanyuan Street, Taoyuan District, Taoyuan City 330) by 31 December 2025.
The Bureau further stated that organisations approved by the Ministry of Finance to participate in the digitisation of donation deduction documents may, before the end of February 2026, access the Ministry of Finance’s e-filing and tax payment service website under Non-individual Tax → Deduction Electronic Data Exchange → Software Download and Filing → Deduction Data Exchange System. Through this system, organisations can upload individual cash donation data files. This will enable donors, when filing their comprehensive income tax returns via mobile filing or through the Ministry of Finance’s e-filing website, to retrieve, download, and have their own, their spouse’s, or their dependents’ donation information automatically populated by the tax filing system. Donors will not need to attach original donation receipts when claiming itemised donation deductions.
The Bureau reminded agencies and organisations that if they have questions regarding the digitisation of donation deduction documents, they may visit the Bureau’s website under Government Information Disclosure → Publications → Promotional Information → Comprehensive Income Tax, to access and download relevant information, or call the Bureau’s dedicated service line at (03) 339-6789 ext. 1410.
