Frequently asked questions
What is the IT3(d) deadline?
The IT3(d) submission deadline is 31 October 2026. ActiveDonor lets you prepare, validate and submit your Section 18A data directly to SARS from one workflow, so you can get it done well before the deadline.
Can ActiveDonor submit directly to SARS?
Yes. ActiveDonor compiles the donation data you have captured, formats it to SARS requirements, validates it, and submits it directly to SARS with a single click. You can then track the status within the platform.
What if we've already issued our Section 18A certificates?
No problem. We can import your existing Section 18A records into ActiveDonor, validate the data and include them in your IT3(d) submission. You do not need to have used ActiveDonor throughout the year.
Can you import our existing Section 18A data?
Yes. We can help you bring your existing Section 18A records and donor data into ActiveDonor from your current system or spreadsheets, so they can be validated and included in your IT3(d) submission.
What does ActiveDonor validate before submission?
ActiveDonor validates your IT3(d) data and flags missing or incorrect information before it is sent to SARS. Our submission process is built around SARS’s current third-party data specifications and validation requirements.
How do I know SARS received the submission?
ActiveDonor tracks the SARS acknowledgement and submission status for you, and keeps a complete submission history and audit trail in the platform.
What happens if SARS rejects something?
Because ActiveDonor validates your data before it is sent, most problems are caught early. If SARS does raise an issue, you can see the submission status in ActiveDonor, and our support team can help you work out what needs correcting.
Do I need to be an existing ActiveDonor customer?
No. You do not need to have used ActiveDonor throughout the year. Book an IT3(d) demo or start a free trial and we will help you get your Section 18A data in and ready for submission.
