9th August 2024 | Hong Kong
Singapore Deputy Prime Minister & Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Chairman Gan Kim Yong reply to Singapore Parliamentary question (6/8/24) – MAS received 9 applications & indications of interest in 2024 from single family offices (SFOs) for the new Philanthropy Tax Incentive Scheme (PTIS), with the first reporting cycle on donations to be in 2025. Gan Kim Yong (6/8/24): “The Philanthropy Tax Incentive Scheme (PTIS) for Family Offices was opened for applications this year and MAS has thus far received 9 applications and indications of interest from Single Family Offices (SFOs). As the first reporting cycle will only take place next year, we do not have data on the total amount of philanthropic donations made through the scheme. MAS has been engaging industry stakeholders, including SFOs, tax and legal professionals, private banks and charitable organisations on the PTIS. These stakeholders have provided feedback that the scheme is useful in encouraging greater philanthropic giving among SFOs and in supporting the growth of the philanthropic ecosystem as well as capabilities in Singapore. MAS will continue to engage stakeholders to increase awareness and understanding on the PTIS. MAS has received some suggestions to streamline and reduce the scheme requirements. We will monitor the take up of the scheme, continue to take feedback and review the scheme if necessary.”
