Corporate Social Investment for tax purposes?

By Marc Sevitz · Updated 6 March 2015

I am wondering about the Tax Benefits for companies that donate money for CSI (Corporate Social Investments) is there a certain starting amount companies need to donate? How do I know if my company donates to a charity or NGO that I will get the Tax Benefit? What paperwork should I be asking to see from the NGO or Charity. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

In order to benefit from donations, the NGO or group you are donating to needs to produce a S18A Tax Certificate detailing that SARS has allowed to be a tax exempt institution.
