A core specialty of the firm: guiding non-profits, public-benefit companies and other not-for-profit institutions - from proper management approval to state support.

Proper management approval

Full guidance with the Registrar of Associations to obtain - and keep - the proper management approval.

In the event that your non-profit organization is interested in the following, it will first need to receive a proper management certification from the Registrar of Associations:

Getting an approval under section 46 of the Income Tax Ordinance;

Receiving support from the state;

Approaching the Estate Committee;

Receiving support from government decisions;

Providing services by contracting through tenders;

Entering joint ventures;

And more.

Proper management approval is a basic condition for maintaining contact with the state – the lack of certification can paralyze the organization in one day. Our firm will carry out the application procedure as required until the awaited approval is obtained.

A small tip: even if two years have not yet passed since the establishment of the association, there are cases in which a filing certificate is also sufficient.

Looking for more ways to increase donations to your organization?

Donations made to a non profit organization that has approval under Section 46(a) of the Income Tax Ordinance give the donor a tax refund (credit) in the amount of 35% of the donation given and for companies that donate – a credit in the amount of the corporate tax, currently, at a rate of 23%.

So, how does one do it?

The approval for the organization is granted by the tax authority after meeting many criteria and a cumbersome procedure of submitting various documents. Our firm will accompany the organization and conduct an examination before the submission, ensuring that the organization has the best chances of receiving the approval. In addition, adjustments and changes will be made as necessary in order to comply with the provisions of the law and get the approval.

Would you like to start the application process in the best way until the receipt of the approval as soon as possible? Contact us today to start the process.
