Unlock Tax Benefits & Boost Donations for Your Non-Profit Organization
Introduction
For non-profit organizations, gaining trust and financial support is crucial. The 80G & 12A registration not only establishes credibility but also enables donors to claim tax deductions, making your NGO more attractive for donations.
- Section 80G allows donors to claim deductions on their taxable income for donations made.
- Section 12A exempts the income of your organization from taxation, ensuring that funds received are used entirely for charitable purposes.
At Calzone, we help non-profits streamline the registration process, ensuring compliance with tax regulations and maximizing funding opportunities.
What is 80G Registration?
80G registration is a certification issued by the Income Tax Department, allowing donors to claim tax deductions on their donations to your organization. This significantly enhances your fundraising potential, as both individuals and corporations are more likely to contribute when they receive tax benefits.
Key Benefits of 80G Registration:
- Encourages larger donations from individuals and businesses
- Enhances credibility and attracts more funding
- Applicable for domestic and corporate donations
- Provides a competitive edge over non-registered organizations
What is 12A Registration?
12A registration is essential for any NGO or non-profit organization to be recognized as a charitable entity under Indian tax laws. With this registration, your organization will not have to pay income tax on funds received, ensuring that donations and grants are used effectively.
Key Benefits of 12A Registration:
- Complete tax exemption on NGO income
- Enhances eligibility for government & CSR funding
- Builds trust & accountability with donors
- Helps in securing foreign grants & international collaborations
