Recent improvements to our myIR Secure Online Services make it easier for your supporters to claim a tax credit when they donate to you. Once registered for a mylR account, supporters can upload their receipts in mylR at any time. They can upload photos or scans of paper receipts, but if you provide an electronic receipt this makes it even easier. At the end of the tax year, your supporters won't have to complete a paper form. We'll automatically calculate the credit and pay it into their bank account within three weeks of the end of the tax year. 

To help your supporters claim the donation tax credit, make sure your receipts include:

the donor's name

the amount they donated

the date they donated

a clear statement that it was a donation

your organisation's name and IRD number 

your official stamp or letterhead

your charity number (if you have one)

Let your supporters know our mylr online services will help them claim their entitlements more easily and quickly. For more information go to ird.govt.nz/donations
