Donations to the Wellington Rugby Referees Association

The WRRA is now listed as an approved Donee organisation on the appropriate IRD website: http://www.ird.govt.nz/donee-organisations/donee-organisations-index.html

Donee status means that:

INDIVIDUALS can claim a tax credit/rebate for any donations that they make to the WRRA (generally using a form IR526).
We will issue valid receipts to the individuals for this purpose. The tax credit amounts to 33.33% of the donated amount (minimum donation: $5).
Please refer to http://www.ird.govt.nz/income-tax-individual/tax-credits/donations-taxcredits/donations-taxcredits.html for further information.

COMPANIES can deduct such donations from their business income.
