Monthly Debit Order
Help us train more dogs and improve lives
We are a non-profit and rely on your donations to make our services available to all the people who need them. Smaller, consistent monthly debit orders are as essential to us as large sponsorships. Your donation will help to:
- Maintain our Kennels and Puppy Block Buildings
- Pay for much-needed cleaning and medical supplies, keeping our dogs happy and healthy
- Pay transport costs so that our trainers and Orientation & Mobility practitioners can work around South Africa
Every bit helps and no donation is too small.

18A TAX RECEIPT – lets you claim a tax deduction on your monthly debits
- South African Guide-Dogs Association is registered with SARS as a Public Benefit Organisation (“PBO”), which means that all qualifying donations entitle donors to receive a Section 18A tax receipt.
- The value reflected on this receipt can be claimed by donors as a deduction from your taxable income in the tax year the donation was made.
- This receipt is automatically generated for every qualifying donation, immediately after the donation is processed on our system.
- Amendments to the Regulations regarding the issue of these tax receipts require that from 1 March 2023 the following additional information must be included on a Section 18A Tax Receipt, issued in terms of section 18A(2)(a) of the Income Tax Act:

- Please note: without this information, we cannot issue the Section 18A receipt.
- South African Guide-Dogs Association complies with the POPI Act. All information given will be treated with 100% confidentiality.
What is Section 18A?
- Section 18A enables you, the taxpayer, who has made a donation to claim a tax deduction up to a certain limit.
- Donors are entitled to deduct the total value of their donations to South African Guide-Dogs Association, up to a limit of 10% of your taxable income for that tax year.
- We will issue the donor with a Section 18A Certificate, which you must submit to SARS with your tax filing at the end of the tax year.
Who is eligible to claim a S18A tax deduction?
- Taxpayers, natural persons, trusts, companies or close corporations can claim as a deduction from their taxable income, amounts donated to any S18A approved organisation, up to a value of 10% of their taxable income.
What donations qualify for S18A deductions?
- Donations in cash or in kind actually paid or transferred to a S18A approved organisation during the year of assessment, provided that the donation does not exceed 10% of the donor’s taxable income.
