Apply for your Section 18A tax receipt

If you've donated to KIG, you may be able to deduct that donation from your taxable income. A Section 18A receipt is the proof SARS requires. Apply below — KIG will match your payment to its bank records and email you your receipt.

KIG is an approved Public Benefit Organisation with Section 18A approval from SARS.
Exemption reference number: 930089608 · Section 18A approval effective: 12 May 2026 · View the SARS approval letter (PDF)

Before you apply

What qualifies

A genuine gift: given voluntarily, with nothing given to you in return and no conditions attached.
Money paid to KIG (bank transfer, card or PayFast) on or after 12 May 2026. Receipts can't be issued for earlier donations.
Donations KIG uses for its approved Section 18A activity: “engaging in the conservation, rehabilitation or protection of the natural environment, including flora, fauna or the biosphere.” SARS only allows KIG to issue receipts for donations used solely for that activity.

What does not qualify

Tickets to fundraising events, raffle tickets, or the price paid for auction items.
Membership fees, or payment for goods or services.
Pledges, promises or future instalments — only amounts actually paid count.
Payments made to someone else on KIG's behalf, instead of to KIG.
Time, skills or professional services given free of charge (for example an engineer's or accountant's time). SARS does not allow a deduction for services.
Goods or other property (“in kind”) have their own valuation rules — please contact us instead of using this form.

How it works

Apply. Complete the form below for one or more donations.
We check. A KIG administrator matches each payment to KIG's bank / PayFast records. We can only issue a receipt for money we've actually received.
We issue your receipt. It carries KIG's SARS reference number, a unique receipt number and everything else SARS requires, and is emailed to you.
You claim it. Keep the receipt with your tax records and claim the donation in your income tax return.

KIG is required by law to report every Section 18A receipt it issues to SARS (a third-party return known as IT3(d)). That is why we need your identity or registration number: SARS matches what you claim against what we report.

What you can claim

Qualifying donations are generally deductible up to 10% of your taxable income for the year. Any excess can be carried forward to the following year, again subject to the 10% limit. SARS requires a receipt to be issued in the same year of assessment in which the donation was received (for most individuals, 1 March to the end of February), so please apply promptly.

This is general information, not tax advice. Speak to your tax practitioner about your own position, or read SARS's Basic Guide to Section 18A Approval (PDF).

I received no goods, services or other benefit in return, and no conditions were attached. * The information above is accurate, and I understand KIG will check it against its bank records before issuing a receipt. * I give KIG permission to process my details to issue my receipt, and to report that receipt to SARS as the law requires. *

How we use your information. We collect these details only to verify your donation, issue your Section 18A receipt and report that receipt to SARS. We keep them for as long as tax law requires us to keep receipt records, limit access to authorised KIG administrators, do not use them for marketing, and share them with no one except SARS. We record your IP address when you submit, to prevent abuse. You may ask to see or correct your information, or ask us to erase it (except where the law requires us to keep it), by emailing kig@kisg.org.za.
