* What is a specified public interest corporation?
It is an abbreviation for "specific corporations that contribute significantly to the promotion of public interest." It refers to public interest corporations and other corporations established under special laws that contribute significantly to the promotion of public interest, such as through the promotion of education or science, the dissemination and promotion of culture and the arts, social welfare and technical cooperation with developing countries, and contributions to the protection of the natural environment.

When a Donation is Made by an Organization (a corporation other than a public interest corporation, etc.) (special provisions for donations to specified promotion corporations)
Donations are not considered an expense for corporations, and the Corporation Tax Act restricts their inclusion as expenses. However, in the case of donations to specified public interest corporations, even if general donations have been spent up to the deductible limit, donations can be included up to the deductible limit in a separate frame. The deductible limit for donations is calculated according to the following formula. Note that the formula is different for public interest corporations, so please contact your local tax office for more information.
