Did you know that almost everyone can claim back 33% of any donation? (up to a limit) This includes the school's activity donation, donations to the parish planned giving and the special character contribution which is a small portion included by the parish with your attendance dues.

Now would be an ideal time to process a claim with IRD. You may be entitled to far more than you realise.

You can either do this yourself through IRD or use a third party agent (which may be easier but they will take a small commission from your refund - usually about 15%).

www.schoolrebates.co.nz is one we have recommended in the past.

Note - issuing donation receipts isn't quite as simple as we would like - and requires a bit of manual data entry - so please allow 7-10 days for Emilia to process receipt requests. 

For activity donation receipts email Emilia: admin@sjr.nz

For parish / special character contribution receipts email Elaine: accounts@waimakariricatholic.org.nz
