Tax Rebates for Donations

The Cancer Society of New Zealand Auckland Division Inc. is an independent, non-government organisation and it is the generosity of individuals and organisations who donate that enables the Society to provide the bulk of its services free of charge.

The IRD tax rebate policy rewards donors for their generosity and in some cases it has enabled supporters to donate more in any one year.   

The maximum rebate that is currently available to all tax paying individuals is $630 for donations of $1,890 or more that have been made in any one year. (As such one third of all donations of $5.00 or more attract a rebate).

The end of the financial year is a time when we encourage all donors of the Cancer Society to claim their rebate.

To do this they must obtain a copy of the IRD rebate claim form which can be downloaded from the IRD website www.ird.govt.nz  or by calling IRD INFO express on 0800 257 773 (quoting your IRD number).

Once the IRD Rebate Claim Form (IR 526) has been filed, this same form will be mailed by the IRD automatically each year to assist with future rebate claims.
