IT3(d) uses donor information from Section 18A receipts to help SARS link the receipt to the correct donor taxpayer.
This will include details such as the donor’s name, identity number, income tax reference information and contact information.
In simple terms
Donor details – identifies who made the donation
Section 18A receipt details – records of the donation itself
IT3(d) reports that information to SARS
Donor information may include the donor’s full name or registered name, identification number, registration number, tax number and contact details, where applicable.
If donor details are missing or incorrect, the receipt information may be harder to match to the donor’s tax record.
For the full guide, read: Understanding IT3(d).
