The business case for partnering with PINC.
PINC SA is registered with SARS as a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) and holds Section 18A approval. That's not just a compliance detail, it's a direct financial reason for your company to give to us rather than write a cheque with no return: every qualifying donation is tax-deductible, and can count toward your B-BBEE scorecard.
Download Section 18A info (PDF)The donation is tax-deductible
Section 18A lets your company deduct qualifying donations from taxable income, up to 10% of taxable income per year. At the current 27% company tax rate, a R100,000 donation to PINC costs your business roughly R73,000 after the tax saving, while PINC receives the full R100,000 toward Pinetown's economic development. We issue a Section 18A certificate for every donation, so your finance team has what they need to claim it.
It can count toward your B-BBEE scorecard
Contributions to a registered PBO like PINC can be counted under the Socio-Economic Development element of your B-BBEE scorecard, worth points on most scorecards, with full points typically requiring around 1% of net profit after tax. Our work supporting Pinetown's local businesses and job seekers is the kind of measurable, community-level impact that SED spend is meant to fund. Exact scoring depends on your sector code and BEE verification, so we'd recommend confirming the detail with your own BEE consultant, we're happy to provide whatever documentation they need.
Beyond the tax and scorecard mechanics, partnering with PINC gives your CSI or ESG spend a visible, local, reportable outcome, real businesses supported, real jobs created, and real infrastructure fixed in Pinetown, rather than an anonymous line item.
