RR No. 9-2020: Implements Section 4 (Z) and Section 4 (EE) of RA No. 11469 (Bayanihan to Heal as One Act) by granting further benefits on donations during the period of Enhanced Community Quarantine in relation to the NIRC of 1997, as amended

Key points

1. Fully deductible donations. Donations made under Sections 101 and 34 (H) of the NIRC solely to combat COVID-19 during the state of national emergency are fully deductible from the donor’s gross income. They cover cash, critical healthcare equipment or supplies, relief goods such as food packs and water, and use of property such as shuttle service or lots and buildings.
2. Qualified donees and documents. Donations to the National Government, its non-profit entities and public hospitals, political subdivisions and fully-owned government corporations need a Deed of Donation. Donations to accredited non-stock, non-profit educational, charitable, religious, cultural or social welfare institutions and similar organizations need a Certificate of Donation (BIR Form No. 2322).
3. Government donees. Donations to the National Government, its agencies, political subdivisions and fully-owned government corporations are fully deductible whether or not covered by the NEDA annual priority plan. No Notice of Donation is required.
4. Donor’s Tax exemption. These donations are also exempt from Donor’s Tax and fully deductible when given to private hospitals and non-stock non-profit organizations, even if non-accredited, subject to timely submission of the documents in Section 6.
