Third-party data is information submitted to SARS by an organisation or institution other than the taxpayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the IT3(d) context, third-party data refers to Section 18A receipt information submitted to SARS by an approved organisation that issued tax-deductible receipts to donors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The donor may use the Section 18A receipt when claiming a tax deduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approved organisation submits the related receipt information to SARS as third-party data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In simple terms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taxpayer = the donor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third party = the approved organisation that issued the Section 18A receipt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third-party data = the receipt information submitted to SARS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For IT3(d), this helps SARS compare donor tax claims with the information submitted by the approved organisation (the Third party)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
