The end of the financial tax year which is 31 March 2022 is fast approaching.

If you are wishing to apply to Inland Revenue for a Tax Credit for Donations you have made during the 1 April 2021 – 31 March 2022 tax year,  we will need to have received your Donations/Contributions by 31 March for them to be included in the Tax Receipt for this period. 

You are also able to claim for previous years' Tax Credit for donations if you have not previously claimed them.

If you have been set up in Hero to view the financial details for your child at school, you will be able to log into your Hero parent account whenever you wish - to see the current financial information. Some payments that may be claimed for ‘Donations’ are the Voluntary, Activity, Material, Camp and Swimming contributions. Payments can still be made by credit card payment through the Office Max – My School website until 31st March, or you can pay directly into the school bank account or at the school office. If you wish to have a copy of your Tax Receipt you may be able to download it from the Hero website (this is not available through the Hero app). 

Please check the name on the receipt. For IRD to accept the receipt, it must be made out to a ‘person’ – not have the wording of ‘Parent/Caregiver(s) of ……. 

This wording occurs when different people are making payments on a child’s account. If your receipt is not showing your name please email finance@fendalton.school.nz to request your receipt.
