Corporations and individual donors will now be able to claim tax deductions (减除，扣除) for donations to any licensed non-profit public welfare organization.
The new policy was announced by the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on Friday.
In the meantime, the draft of the country's first law on charity is expected to be presented to the top legislature (立法机关，立法机构) for examination and approval later this year.
At present only donations to about 20 major charity organizations are tax-deductible, according to a policy issued last year.
But Ge Daosheng, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of Sociology, doubted whether the policy could be faithfully carried out at all levels.
"The procedures for donors to claim deductions in taxes are often extremely complicated in many places," Ge said.
Experts have called for legislative transparency and less government involvement in charity activities.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs, which has overall responsibility for the nation's charity affairs, said on Wednesday it had finished drafting the Law of Charity and would submit it to the National People's Congress for examination.
The Beijing Times quoted Vice-Minister of Civil Affairs Li Liguo as saying the law would encourage any kind of charity or voluntary body to promote public welfare, and would strengthen supervision of charity organizations in their use of donations.
"There has been a strong voice in recent years to promulgate (发布) a charity law to standardize charity practices and give people more freedom to participate in public welfare undertakings," said Yang Tuan, a researcher with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
However, Yang said the controversial draft might take another two to three years before it becomes law.
Yang, director of the academy's Social Policy Research Center and an expert involved in the draft law, said a major point of controversy was the government's role in charity activities.
He said the government should play a less dominant role and give non-governmental charity organizations more scope to grow.
"The law should make establishing charity or public welfare organizations as easy as registering businesses," Yang said.
China's first law on charity has now been finished drafting and will be submitted to China's top legislature, ______ for approval.

【C1】
______ play (s) an important role in accelerating the drafting of the Law of Charity.
The controversy over the first draft of the Law of Charity centers on ______.
听力原文： Between ten and midnight the United States is politically leaderless -- there is no center of information anywhere in the nation except in the New York headquarters of the great broadcasting companies and the two great wire services. No candidate and no party can afford the investment on election night to match the news-gathering resources of the mass media; and so, as every citizen sits in his home watching his TV set or listening to his radio, he is the equal of any other in knowledge. There is nothing that can be done in these hours, for no one can any longer direct the great strike for American power; the polls have closed. Good or bad, whatever the decision, America will accept the decision -- and cut down any man who goes against it, even though for millions the decision runs contrary to their own votes. The general vote is an expression of national will, the only substitute for violence and blood. Its decision is to be defended as one defends civilization itself.
There is nothing like this American expression of will in England or France, India or Russia. Only one other major nation in modern history has ever tried to elect its leader directly by mass, free, popular vote. This was the Weimar Republic of Germany, which modeled its unitary vote for a national leader on the American practice. Out of its experiment with the system it got Hitler. Americans have had Lincoln, Wilson, two Roosevelt's. Nothing can be done when the voting returns are flooding in: the White House and its power will move to one or another of the two candidates, and all will know about it in the morning.
