IT3(d) relates to Section 18A because IT3(d) is the reporting of Section 18A tax-deductible receipt information to SARS.
Section 18A deals with qualifying tax-deductible donations and the receipts issued to donors.
IT3(d) deals with reporting those receipt details to SARS.
In simple terms:
- Section 18A = the receipt framework for qualifying tax-deductible donations
- Section 18A receipt = the document issued to the donor
- IT3(d) = the Section 18A receipt information submitted to SARS
If an approved organisation issues Section 18A receipts, those receipts create the information that may need to be reported through IT3(d).
