Greetings from LCCL Secretariat,
The LCCL EXECUTIVE had a MEETING on 26-27 AUGUST 2020 by ZOOM
During the meeting Executive Members shared their vision for the Executive Committee and for their respective portfolios and reported on their engagement with their portfolios.

1. 2020 SUBSCRIPTIONS:
   The Executive would like to remind conference members to pay 2020 subscriptions to help with administration and running costs of LCCL Office.
2. TAX DESK AT SACBC
   For your information, a tax desk has been established at the SACBC. This is a free service whose aim is to ensure legal compliance for Public Benefit Organisations (PBOs) with South African Tax laws. The SACBC Tax Desk is recommending that each organisation undertakes an immediate review of their tax status including:
   ● PBO registration;
   ● Constitution which will be linked to their PBO status; and
   ● Tax compliance history.
   It is important to remember that all our Institutions/Organisations must submit income tax return forms to SARS/ TEU each year for Tax Compliance.
   All enquiries/submissions to the SACBC Tax Desk should be in writing and sent to SACBC Tax desk sacbctaxdesk@sacbc.org.za
