Cathy and Anna have presented three sold out workshops in Cape Town and are bringing these sessions to Johannesburg for the first time thanks to the support by the Nedbank Private Wealth Philanthropy Office. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a true understanding of your organisation’s PBO and Section18A status – what it means for your organisation and your donors.

We will breakdown the complexities behind these hugely beneficial approvals which will alllow you a greater understanding of what is required for proper compliance with their requirements.

The hot topic of conditional donations will also be covered in the Sections 18A session. There is much confusion and often differing expectations between organisations and their donors as to when a Section 18A receipt or invoice can be provided.

Come spend the morning with us to improve or refresh your understanding of this important area of tax and to make use of the opportunity to raise any questions you might have. Individual queries raise issues usually shared by many attending, and so we allow a lot of time for these.

This training is presented in two sessions.

Session 1
Basic principles of tax exemption for PBOs

This session will cover the basic principles of tax exemption for PBOs including benefits and compliance requirements, and the consequences of non-compliance.  We will also address the questions around trading by PBOs. Noxolo Hlongwane of Nedbank Private Wealth will also cover the tax consequences of investing your reserves.

Session 2
Section 18A in detail

This session will cover the requirements for Section 18A approval, including compliance and the consequences of non-compliance, and will specifically answer these questions:

  • Which donations qualify for a S18A receipt and which don’t?
  • Do pro bono services qualify for a receipt?
  • When should an invoice be issued instead of a receipt?
  • Can a donor impose conditions on their donation?
  • What are the distribution rules for S18A organisations?

We encourage everyone to attend the first session in order to gain the background knowledge required to more easily follow the second session.
