Perhaps the BIR requires only the SEC registration. If the organization is registered with SEC and has its own By-Laws then it is permitted by BIR to have its TIN and issue receipts. These receipts when issued to donors or benefactors this can be deducted from their income taxes.
When you qualify as such in the exemptions given under the NIRC. When you are the donee organization your operation has to be under enumeration A to K of Section 30 of NIRC. This is with the assumption that the organization has been duly registered with the BIR and the SEC.
But if you are the donor, you can only declare as donation expenses in your Quarterly and Annual Income Tax Return the donated amounts when the donee is qualified under enumerations A to K of NIRC. Plus, as a donor, you do not have to pay donor's tax for every donation you make when the donee is registered with PCNC.
