What is a Bequest?

A bequest is a gift outlined in your will, designated for an individual or organization to receive after your passing. By choosing to leave a bequest to The Wise Ant, you create a lasting legacy that continues to transform lives and uplift those in need. It’s a way to make a meaningful impact without any additional cost or loss during this process.

 

According to Section 4(h), the value of property bequeathed to any Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) which is exempt from tax (as defined in Section 10(1)(cN) and 10(1)cA)(i) of the Income Tax Act) or to the State or any municipality (as defined in Section 1 of the Income Tax Act) will be allowed as a deduction in determining the dutiable amount of a deceased estate.

 

“Exemption from the payment of Estate Duty in terms of section 4(h) of the Estate Duty Act No.45 of 1955.” – Please see our PBO letter

• Empower young people with disabilities through community engagement, confidence-building workshops, and employment initiatives.
