Tax Advantages of making a Donation/Bequest

Section 18A of the Income Tax Act provides for the tax deductibility of donations made to approved public benefit organisations. A taxpayer making a bona fide donation is entitled to a deduction from his taxable income if the donation:

·       Is supported by the necessary receipt issued by the organisation

·       Does not exceed 10% of the donor’s taxable income (certain technical quantification issues in respect of individuals)

A bona fide donation is a gratuitous donation or gift disposed of by the donor out of liberality or generosity. It is a voluntary gift that is freely given by the donor, with no quid pro quo, no reciprocal obligations and no personal benefit for the donor. The donor may not impose conditions that could enable him or any connected person in relation to himself to derive some direct or indirect benefit from the application of the donation. The donation may not be revocable by the donor. The donation must be paid or transferred during the year of assessment.

Donations to Thandulwazi qualify for income tax deduction (subject to the 10% limit) in terms of Section 18A, and a valid tax receipt will be provided to donors to evidence the donation.
