When you donate, you will receive a Section 18A tax certificate enabling you to claim a deduction from personal or corporate taxable income. Annual tax certificates will be issued at the end of the financial year unless requested earlier.
Tax-deductible donations (Section 18A receipts)
A taxpayer making a bona fide donation in cash or in kind to a section 18A-approved organisation is entitled to a deduction from taxable income if the donation is supported by the necessary Section 18A receipt issued by the organisation or, in certain circumstances, by an employee’s tax certificate reflecting the donations made by the employee. The amount of donations that may qualify for a tax deduction is limited.
Please feel free to contact us at info.fdc@sos-botswana.org to request a copy of your annual tax certificate.
