Understanding Section 46 of the Income Tax Ordinance is vital for non-profit organizations seeking to maximize their fundraising potential. This section allows individuals and corporations to receive a tax credit for donations made to eligible non-profits. Individuals can claim a credit of 35% of the tax, and companies receive a credit at the corporate tax rate.

However, obtaining Section 46 status involves a complex process. Non-profits must undergo scrutiny by the Tax Authority and meet several conditions, including being a legally registered entity, maintaining proper records with the VAT and Income Tax departments, having no income tax debts, and having an accountant-approved bookkeeping system. The final approval comes from the Finance Committee of the Knesset.
