FAQ: What is the process of applying for Section 18A status for Public Institutions?

Public Institutions may be considered for approval under Section 18A if they are conducting public benefit activities (PBAs) listed in Part II of the Ninth Schedule. If the Public Institution conducts Part II public benefit activities (PBAs), it will be considered with the initial application for section 18A. If the changes to the objects are considered subsequent to the approval, the Public Institution may apply to SARS by submitting a copy of the enabling legislation as well as a motivation letter.
