Ways to Donate

3 Ways you can save:

  • Individual Giving
  • Company/Corporates donation
  • Company/Corporates donates PAYE

The deduction may, however, not exceed 10% of the donor’s taxable income during any year of assessment. This means that individuals and companies can contribute up to 10% of their taxable income as a charitable donation. However, if a donor has given more than 10% of their taxable income in one year, the excess amount can be carried over to the next year, allowing for continued support and generosity.

In addition, staff members can also benefit from tax relief on their PAYE (Pay As You Earn) through a concept known as "payroll giving." This involves the employer making donations on behalf of their employees, with the donations being up to 5% of the employee's remuneration. These donations are directed towards qualifying section 18A PBOs (Public Benefit Organizations), ensuring that the contributions have a meaningful impact.

It's important to note that the tax relief resulting from these donations will be reflected on the employee's IRP5 (Income Tax Certificate) at the end of the year, providing further incentive for individuals and companies to contribute towards charitable causes. By taking advantage of these opportunities, donors can maximize their impact and support while also enjoying the benefits of tax relief.
