Tax deduction for research donations narrowed, shifting compliance to recipient reporting and preserving donor protection for post donation approval withdrawal.
Clause 135 provides a deduction for donations to approved institutions for scientific and social science/statistical research, requires recipient approval under the new Act's cross references, excludes donors with business or professional income from claiming the deduction, disallows large cash contributions, and conditions allowance of the deduction on information furnished by the payee to the tax authority subject to risk based verification; it also protects donors where recipient approval is withdrawn after the donation.
