Further Information
What donations qualify for tax credits
Donations must be made to an approved donee organisation in New Zealand. These are typically registered charities or schools. The donation amount must be $5 NZD or more and be accompanied with an official receipt from the organisation.
​
Please note, the total amount of donation tax credits claimed cannot exceed your taxable income for the relevant year.
When can you claim tax credits
A donation tax credit can be claimed up to 4 years after donating. Any credit you are due will apply to the tax year the donation was made, not the year that the receipt is submitted.
​
A claim can be lodged at any time throughout the year, however if the claim pertains to donations made during the current financial year, the IRD will only process the claim after the corresponding tax return has been filed. This requirement exists because a donor must have taxable income to be eligible for a donation tax credit.
​
For donations made during past financial years, the standard processing time with the IRD is up to 12 weeks.
Can Impact claim for other donation receipts
Yes, you don't have to use the Impact donation platform in order to claim a donation. If you have a digital copy of the tax receipt and it meets the requirements for a tax credit, Impact can submit this on your behalf.
When does GST apply
Impact Aotearoa Charitable Trust is not currently registered for GST, which means that GST does not apply to our tax credit service.
Registration process
The first step is to complete our online registration form. We will then review the information provided and create an Authority to Act letter, which allows Impact to lodge a claim on your behalf. We'll send it to you for approval prior to filing it with the IRD. It's that easy!
