12A and 80G Registration Online
Online 12A & 80G Registration
In the form of a Charitable Trust/Society/Section 8 Company, an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) is established solely to serve non-profit humanitarian purposes, and once such entity is formally registered, it is eligible for tax exemptions, benefits, and reliefs, as well as the provision of tax deductions for donors. Any income an NGO earns, such as service/production/donation, will be treated as normal taxable income without regard to the purpose of such income unless that NGO has obtained
12A and 80G registrations online. With the help of 12A registration, all the income earned by the NGO is exempted from tax. Hence, such NGO can utilize all earnings in promoting it’s objectives. With the help of 80G registration, the tax on the donations offered by the donors for the upliftment of the society is exempted.
Only NGOs and Charitable Organizations that meet the following criteria are eligible for the
80G and 12A registrations:
- An NGO must not earn money from a business.
- They must be registered as a society, charitable trust or a Section 8 NGO.
- Additionally, such Organisations must not use their assets or income for anything other than charitable purposes.
- They must also keep track of their receipts and expenses in a regular book of accounts.
- The trustees or any other governing body of the organisation should not be involved in any improper use of these funds.
- Such organizations must not work for the benefit a specific caste or religion.
- In addition, if the organisation earns money from its business, it should keep a separate book of accounts. Donations to the NGO, on the other hand, must not be used for such ventures
What is 12A Registration ?
TAX EXEMPTION BENEFITS ON NGO'S INCOME
The Income Tax Department grants Section-8 Companies, Trusts and Other Not-for-Profit Organisations 12A Certificate, which is a provisional certificate valid for 3 years. Previously, the approval for 12A registration was a tedious and costly process. But, with the introduction of new reforms under this act, a newly registered NGO can now apply for a provisional 12A registration and can avail benefits such as Tax exemption on the income earned during that fiscal year. Section 8 Companies, trusts, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that have obtained 12A registration are exempt from paying income tax on their surplus income. All non-profit organisations can use the 12AB registration service.
What is 80G Registration ?
TAX EXEMPTION BENEFITS TO DONORS
The Income Tax Department issues an 80G Certificate to a
Section 8 Company, Charitable Trust, or a Non-Profit Organisation or Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO). The goal of the 80G certificate is to encourage more people to donate money to charities like these. The donor benefits from donating to such an NGO in that he receives a tax exemption on 50% of his donation because donations can be deducted from their Gross Total Income. To qualify for the tax exemption, the donor must attach a stamped receipt from the NGO to the donation – the receipt must include the organization’s name, date, PAN and the 80G Registration Number. The provisional 80G registration will be valid for 3 years.
