Komentar · 156 Tampilan

Income tax filing is a crucial responsibility for every organization, including NGOs. Timely and correct filing helps avoid penalties and keeps your NGO compliant with Indian laws. If you're running a non-profit or a Section 8 company, understanding the process is essential.

 

At NGO Experts, we simplify legal services for non-profits. Whether it’s income tax filing, Section 8 company registration, or 80G certificate application, we help you at every step.

What is Income Tax Filing for NGOs?

Income tax filing refers to submitting the Income Tax Return (ITR) to the Income Tax Department. Even if your NGO is not earning profit, it still needs to file returns annually. This helps maintain transparency and builds trust with donors and government authorities.

Income tax filing also makes your NGO eligible for benefits under various sections of the Income Tax Act.

Importance of 80G Certificate in Tax Filing

The 80G certificate allows donors to claim tax deductions on donations. It is one of the most valuable tools for fundraising. If your NGO holds an 80G certificate, it becomes more trustworthy for individual and corporate donors.

During income tax filing, you need to report all donations received and also mention the validity of your 80G certificate. This improves the credibility of your ITR and helps during government audits.

Section 8 Company Registration and Tax Filing

If your NGO is registered as a Section 8 company, you enjoy several tax benefits. Section 8 company registration is done under the Companies Act, 2013. Once registered, your company must follow annual compliance including income tax filing, ROC returns, and maintaining proper books of accounts.

With NGO Experts, the process of Section 8 company registration becomes smooth. We also help with tax filing and getting your 80G certificate.

Documents Required for Income Tax Filing

To file taxes for your NGO, you will need:

  • PAN card of the NGO

  • Registration certificate (like Section 8 company registration proof)

  • Audited financial statements

  • Details of grants and donations

  • 80G certificate copy (if applicable)

Make sure all these documents are ready before filing to avoid errors or delays.
