Details on the calculations and assumptions

  • The calculation is for individuals (not companies) that are resident for tax in South Africa
  • Tax period is 2024 - 2025
  • We do not store your annual taxable income figure
  • Donations are to SARS Approved Public Benefit Organisations (PBO), with approved reporting according to the reporting standards for Section 18A organisations. See the official list on the SARS website.
  • Monthly net cost is calculated by your donations minus the potential tax saving. Please note that there are several conditions and steps to take in order to secure the tax saving.
  • Special conditions for the Solidarity Fund have not been taken into account
  • The donation maximum is set at 10% for the tax calculator and does not consider carry-over tax benefits at this point in time

Disclaimers

  • Social Collective Preview is not registered to provide tax advice. The calculations provided aim to offer a guide with the goal to simplify your decision to donate to Section 18A approved organisations.
  • Neither Social Collective Preview nor the recipient organisation shall be held liable for any loss of money or claims of donations or submissions to SARS, or any other bodies.

About your donation and the organisations you would like to support

  • In order to qualify for the tax saving, the donation must be made to an SARS Approved PBO organisation which is up to date with its Section 18A annual reporting.
  • SARS has the final say on whether or not the donation qualifies. This decision is made upon assessments of the document submitted annually, from the donor, as well as the benefiting organisations. (There are several annual requirements for organisations.)

Matched Giving Contributions

  • Payment will only be made to compliant verified causes
  • Social Collective Preview's financial contribution is at the discretion of the Entity and/or Group in line with the applicable DOA and subject to availability of funds, if this funding is matched
  • Deduction will be made on the first pay day after confirmation of your application

Your Donation(s)

  • All payments made on your behalf are done under your instruction, by completing the electronic process via Do-Nation
  • You opt in to have these payments taken from your Payslip, via HR, and/or other means of processing.
  • Recurring donations will automatically renew until you cancel them

What does our service, Do-Nation, aim to do

  • We manage Payroll donations through our simplified solution

Use of your Data, Do-Nation

  • We will need to share your data with Payroll (of your employer) and of the Organisation you have committed too. We limit this to Name, Surname, email, and the contribution details with little supporting info to make this process smooth for you
  • For the SARS and Section 18A certificates, more personal info is required, we keep this private and this data is only used for use to assist with the delivery of your Section 18A certificates
