    Note: Individuals who make donations of more than $5 can claim a tax credit. Companies can claim a deduction for donations paid to the 40+ Employment Support Trust, so long as the deduction available to the company for donations made to all chariable organisations in that income year does exceed its net income before making the deduction.
