• When payment is made to the second category you need to first find out the maximum/qualifying limit. The maximum / qualifying limit is 10% of the “adjusted gross total income”.
• Now use this formula to arrive at the amount of deduction =

b) Net Qualifying limit = This is 10% of the “adjusted gross total income”.
c) Amount Deductible = 100%/50% of the donation amount subject to qualifying limit.
