Tax rebates for donating

South Africa
Engender will issue tax receipts to South Africans who donate more than R1 000,00; this receipt can be used to reduce taxable income.

Note: An South African  may claim a deduction from their taxable income for donations in excess of R1 000,00 made to a public benefit organisation which has a Section 18a Tax Exemption certificate, if it:

• is supported by the necessary receipt issued by the organisation; and
• does not exceed 5% percent of the taxable income of the taxpayer, calculated before allowing any deduction under section 18A or any deduction for medical and dental expenses.
