Bigger tax benefits proposed for donors

Lawmakers are proposing that increased tax reductions be given for charitable donations in order to encourage more contributions.

Su Xiaoyun, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress who also worked for civil affairs authorities for more than 10 years, said that tax benefits are key to improving a country's charitable sector.

"If someone or some organization cannot be given a tax deduction, the motivation to donate will be reduced," Sun said.
