Online Payroll Help - Donations

This is an amount deducted from the remuneration of the employee and paid over by the employer to the relevant approved organisation.

The tax deduction is not allowed to exceed 5% of the remuneration after deducting:

  • allowable pension fund contributions;
  • allowable RAF contributions
  • allowable income protection policy premiums; and
  • allowable medical scheme contributions.

A tax deduction may only be made if a receipt is received from the organisation with all the required information.

SimplePay will automatically calculate the tax deduction – all you need to do is enter the total amount paid over to the organisation.
