Please note: A donation qualifying for a tax exemption is gratuitous disposal by the donor out of liberality or generosity, under which the donee is enriched and the donor impoverished. It is a voluntary gift that is freely given to the donee. There must be no quid pro quo, no reciprocal obligations and no personal benefit for the donor. If the donee gives any consideration at all it is not a donation.
Section 30(3)(b)(v) provides that an approved PBO may not accept donations that are subject to conditions that could enable the donor or any connected person to the donor to derive some direct or indirect benefit from the application of the donation. The donation may also, subject to limited exceptions, not be revocable by the donor.
Please email fundraising@herd.org.za to verify if your donation will qualify for tax exemption.
