CAN I CLAIM A TAX CREDIT?

You can claim a tax credit if you're an individual (not a company, trust or partnership) and you:

earned taxable income (eg, salary, wages, benefit, self-employed income, interest) in the income year you're claiming for, and

were a New Zealand resident for tax purposes at any time during the tax year.

WHAT CAN I CLAIM?

Donations

A donation is a gift of money made voluntarily to a school/kindergarten or a donee organisation, where there is no identifiable direct benefit to the donor, or the donor's family.

To claim a tax credit, a receipt must have the word "donation" written on it.

If you have receipts, you can claim a tax credit for donations of $5 or more.

Go to www.ird.govt.nz (search keyword: donee) for a list of approved donee organisations.

School/kindergarten donations

You can claim a donation tax credit for school fees or to state-run kindergartens as long as they go to the general fund. Enter all donations made to school/kindergartens in Box 3.

Religious organisation donations

A religious organisation donation is an unconditional donation made to a donee religious organisation or group. Enter all donations made to donee religious organisations in Box 4.

Remaining donations

Enter all remaining donations in Box 5. If you made a donation through a religious organisation to an unrelated charitable organisation, enter this amount in Box 5.

CLAIMING DONATIONS

The total donations you claim can't be more than your taxable income for the year.

If you need to file an IR3 income tax return, we will need your return to check your taxable income before we can process your claim.

If you have losses brought forward greater than your taxable income, you have no taxable income, so the credit cannot be claimed.

To avoid delays file your claim at the same time as you file your IR3.

We cannot process your claim before the end of the income year which it relates to. The exceptions are if you are completing the claim on behalf of a deceased person, or going overseas permanently or for a significant period of time.

HOW MUCH CAN I CLAIM?

You can claim the lesser of:

33.3333% of the total donations you've made, or

33.3333% of your taxable income.

Go to www.ird.govt.nz (search keywords: donation tax credit) for more information.

SHARING RECEIPTS WITH YOUR SPOUSE/PARTNER

If your spouse/partner has taxable income they may be eligible to claim the balance of your receipts.

Example

Your taxable income is $1,000, but you have receipts of $1,500. You're only eligible to claim $1,000. If your partner/spouse has income of $500 or more, then they can claim the other $500.

PRIVACY

Meeting your tax obligations means giving us accurate information so we can assess your liabilities or your entitlements under the Acts we administer.

For full details of our privacy policy go to www.ird.govt.nz (search keyword: privacy).

Important information

Payments made from 1 April 2012 for childcare and/or housekeeper payments are not eligible for a tax credit.

From 1 April 2014 you can only claim donation tax credits within a period of four years, following the year in which the gift was made. This means that donations made prior to 1 April 2014 can no longer be claimed.

Rather than rounding all tax credit refund amounts to the nearest cent, Inland Revenue stops at two decimal places. This means that if you work out a tax credit of $99.9999, your refund will show as $99.99.

ARE YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS CORRECT?

We need your correct information so next year we can send you your tax credit claim form without delay. If any of your contact details shown on the front are missing or incorrect, please enter your correct details here:
