Your donation to The Greenpop Foundation can be eligible for a claim back from the South African Revenue Service.
The Greenpop Foundation NPC is a registered Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) approved for the purposes of section 18A (1)(a) of the Act, and this means that donations to our organisation are tax deductible.
A taxpayer making a bona fide donation is entitled to a deduction from taxable income if the donation is supported by the necessary section 18A receipt, issued by Greenpop upon request.
*UPDATE: As of March 2023, SARS requires various new information to be present on your s18A in order for it to be valid. So please bear with us as we collect all the relevant details from you in this form.
------
How much can I claim?
All taxpayers can deduct any donations they make to Greenpop up to the value of 10% of their taxable income.
Taxable income is what you have left after all your permitted deductions (but before your donations). It excludes any retirement lump sum benefit, retirement lump sum withdrawal benefit, and severance benefit. But it includes taxable capital gains.
------
What does the small print say?
The donation must be paid or transferred during the year of assessment in order to qualify for a tax deduction in the same tax year.
Any donations in excess of the 10% limit will be rolled over and carried forward to the succeeding year of assessment.
------
Your donation to Greenpop is an investment in preserving the environment for future generations. And by donating to Greenpop as a registered NPO and PBO, you’re ensuring that the Taxman is doing its part as well!
