For accountants, auditors & tax practitioners

Do you manage PBO or NPO clients? Let us handle the IT3(d) and Section 18A processing.

You retain the client relationship. DonorAssured does the specialist IT3(d) filing and Section 18A certificates for your non-profit clients. You send us the client's donation records, the same way an organisation would. We check them, file the twice-yearly return and send the certificates back to you to pass on. Your client deals with you throughout.

Why practices hand it over

A specialist return that arrives twice a year, for every Section 18A client you have.

The IT3(d) is third-party data, not a tax return. It has its own specification, its own submission windows and its own rejection codes, and SARS expects it from every Section 18A-approved organisation. Learning it for two or three clients is a poor use of a practice's season. We file them every season.

01

It's a specialist filing

SARS's third-party data specification, not eFiling. We prepare each client's return to it and file in the window, and you never touch a SARS file format.

02

Two windows a year, tracked for you

One window after March to August, one after September to February. We track the dates, remind you ahead of each, and tell you when each client's records are due.

03

Certificates the donors can use

A Section 18A certificate per donor, worded to Public Notice 3082, with the client's logo, PBO details and authorised signatory. Numbered, so each one reconciles to the return.

04

Checked before anything is filed

Every record is checked first. Problems come back as a short list, by row. Nothing is corrected silently and nothing goes to SARS until the list is empty and it has been approved.

05

A clean record for your file

What was filed, what SARS accepted, which certificates were issued and which were re-issued after a correction. One set of papers per filing, per client.

06

You stay the adviser

We do the IT3(d) and the certificates for your client, and nothing else. The engagement, the fees for everything else and the relationship stay where they are: with you.

Who does what

You keep the client. We keep the deadline.

Your client deals with you. We deal with you. Nothing goes to the client except through you.

Your practice

The relationship, and everything else

  • The client relationship, the engagement letter and your fees
  • The year-end, the annual financial statements, the audit or review, the income tax return
  • Collecting the client's donation records and sending them to us in our template, as an organisation would
  • Approving what gets filed, and passing the certificates on to the client
DonorAssured

The IT3(d), the certificates, the deadline

  • Tracking SARS's two submission windows and the reminders before each
  • Checking every donation record against what SARS requires
  • Filing the IT3(d) return as the submitting entity, and re-filing corrections
  • Issuing numbered Section 18A certificates in the client's name
  • Sending certificates and the filing record back to you, for your working papers and your client
How it works with a practice

One conversation. Then a routine, twice a year.

We go through your list of PBO and NPO clients once. After that each client's filing runs exactly as it would for an organisation that came to us directly, except that the records come from you and everything goes back to you.

We do not contact your client. Records come from you, the problems list goes to you, and the certificates and the filing record go back to you to pass on.
1

Tell us about your clients

Which organisations, and roughly how many donors each. We come back with a quote per organisation and the template.

You
2

Send us each client's donation records

Our template, one per organisation, filled in from the client's donation records, with the organisation's details and logo. Exactly what an organisation would send us itself. We confirm receipt the same day.

You
3

We check, you approve, we file

Problems come back to you as a list, by row. Once the records are clean and you've signed off, we file the IT3(d) in the window and tell you what SARS accepted.

Us, then you, then us
4

Certificates and the record come back to you

A Section 18A certificate for each of the client's donors, numbered and ready for you to pass on, and a record of the filing for your working papers.

Us

Nothing is fixed quietly.

You sign off a client's accounts. You should know exactly what went to SARS in their name. If a record is wrong, you hear about it, by row, before anything is filed. If SARS queries one, you hear about that too, in plain language rather than a code.

0

Filings a year per client, in SARS's submission windows, each one tracked and reminded

0

Conversation to set up your whole PBO/NPO list, and one contact for all of them afterwards

0

SARS file formats, systems or logins for you or your client to learn. A spreadsheet and an email address are enough

Questions

The things practices ask us first.

Anything else, email info@donorassured.co.za or WhatsApp us, and a person will answer.

Tax A Sured (Pty) Ltd, a registered tax practice, files the IT3(d) as the submitting entity for the organisation. Your practice's SARS profile and eFiling access are not involved, and neither are the client's.

The same way as for an organisation that comes to us directly, except that the records come from you. You send the client's donation records in our template, the problems list comes to you, you approve, we file, and the certificates and filing record go back to you to pass on. Your client deals with you throughout, not with us.

Yes, and that is the point of the discussion. We go through your list and set the reminders for each organisation ahead of each window. Each client gets its own return, its own certificates and its own filing record, all sent to you.

Our spreadsheet template, filled in: the organisation's details (registered name, PBO reference, tax reference, contact details and signatory) and one row per donation (date, amount, donor's name, ID or registration number and contact details). Plus the client's logo for the certificates. You fill it in from the client's donation records, the same template an organisation would fill in itself.

We tell you what SARS said in plain language, the record is fixed, and we re-file it as a correction. Certificates keep their numbers, and if any certificate changed you get a note saying which ones need re-sending.

It's quoted per filing, per organisation, based on how many donors and donations each one has. Give us the list and roughly how many donations each receives a year, and we'll send a quote for each. No subscriptions, no software licences.
