From 1 April 2008, the rebate cap for individual donations is removed entirely. 

Individuals making a donation to a valid charity are now able to claim 331/3% tax rebate for donations up to their annual net income.

Previously, individual donors were entitled to a tax rebate on donations only up to a maximum amount of $630 p.a.  

These changes provide considerable benefits to the charitable sector, creating a more favourable tax environment to donors.

Parish Finance Committees are encouraged to build this significant change into the promotion and planning of their parish planned giving programmes.
