Frequently Asked Questions

Do non-profits need a tax consultant?
Yes. NPO tax exemptions are conditional and can be lost if compliance lapses. A tax consultant helps maintain PBO approval, manage Section 18A status for donor deductions, and ensure trading income stays within exempt thresholds. The consequences of losing tax-exempt status can be severe.
How much does a tax consultant for an NPO cost in South Africa?
Tax consulting for NPOs typically costs R3,000–R8,000 for annual compliance and returns. PBO application or Section 18A registration may cost R5,000–R15,000 as a once-off. Ongoing advisory for complex NPOs is R1,500–R4,000/month.
Can accounting software replace a tax consultant for non-profits?
Software handles basic tax calculations, but NPO taxation requires expertise in PBO conditions, Section 18A compliance, and exempt income thresholds. These are specialised areas where human judgment is essential.
