Overview:

• An administration fee for the registration process borders on being inappropriately overpriced.

• There is no distinction between registration procedures for secular or religious entities.

• There is a multi-step process for receiving tax-exempt status that is unnecessarily administrative.

• The rule of mandatory annual reporting is restrictive.

Positive elements:

• Nil.

Recommendations:

• Establish a recognition system that has sufficient provisions for both existential recognition and legal registration simultaneously and at different levels of activity.
