Donation Offline Validation Program 1.0

Donation Offline Validation Program (IRAS)

The Donation Offline Validation Program is a desktop utility developed by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) to help charities, Institutions of a Public Character (IPCs), and other eligible organizations validate donation records before submission. It checks your donation data files against IRAS’s latest file specifications, flags formatting errors and missing or invalid fields, and highlights possible duplicates so you can correct issues early and reduce the risk of rejected submissions.

Key features:

• Validates required fields, including donor tax reference numbers (e.g., NRIC/FIN/UEN), dates, amounts, and permitted code values
• Checks file layout and data types against IRAS specifications
• Supports batch validation for large datasets
• Provides clear error reports with row and field references to speed up corrections
• Works entirely offline so donor data stays within your environment
• Generates a clean, submission-ready file after issues are resolved

Benefits:

• Improves accuracy and compliance with IRAS requirements
• Reduces resubmissions and shortens turnaround time
• Protects donor information by validating locally

Who should use it:

• IPCs and charities that report donor information for tax deduction claims
• Organizations and service providers preparing donation data files for IRAS

How it fits into your workflow:

1. Import your donation data file, 2) run validation, 3) review and fix any flagged items, 4) re-validate, then 5) submit the finalized file through IRAS’s designated online services.

For the latest file formats, rules, and submission steps, refer to IRAS’s official guidance.
