Hazlina Abdul Halim on Finance (Income Taxes) Bill
Is this the right time to taper the Enhanced Fund-Raising Programme, which provides matching support for projects that help the underserved? Would the government consider adjusting the tapering if necessary, particularly for smaller charities? Could a targeted approach be considered, where support is tailored to the size of a charity’s receipts? MP Hazlina Abdul Halim asked these questions in parliament on Tuesday (Oct 6). She said that as the government has stepped up support for Singaporeans in a period of continued uncertainty and elevated cost pressures, charities which are supporting many of the same families and communities should not take a hit either.
