Non-profit organisations (NPOs) that are Sec 18A approved public benefit organisations (PBOs) now face a new mandatory reporting requirement from the South African Revenue Service (SARS). PBOs must electronically submit IT3(d) certificates detailing all Section 18A tax-deductible donation receipts issued during the tax year.
When is the deadline?
The next deadline for submission is 31 October 2024. This is the bi-annual submission covering 18A receipts issued from 1 March 2024 to 31 August 2024. In the absence of any S18A receipts for this period, a NIL submission is still necessary.
Consequences of non-submission
- Tax exempt status at risk
- Donors may not receive income tax deductions for donations made
- Reputational damage with donors
- Possible penalties levied by SARS on late/non submission
How to submit
The data can be submitted via eFiling (only applicable to PBOs with 50 or fewer S18A receipts) or through the SARS-
approved HTTPS digital file upload link (applicable to PBOs with 50 or more S18A receipts).
