Kindo - how to claim your tax rebate, FOSS Meeting

Kindo - claiming your tax rebate

A friendly reminder to please pay your donation. Donations paid by 31st March can be claimed after 1 April for a 33% tax rebate.
When paying through myKindo, you will also see an invitation to "amplify your donation" (after the order has been processed). If you don't normally claim your rebates, we would appreciate you choosing YES to support our school. Thank you.

Claiming back your Donation rebate for yourself

You can claim back 33.33c for every dollar you spend on donations (where donations are greater than $5). Here’s how to find our school donation receipts for this years’ tax rebate claim:

1. Log in to myKindo.co.nz and go to My Orders.
2. Choose record type ‘Donation Receipts’.
3. Set the date range
4. Select Download Summary for IRD tax return to get a PDF document suitable for attaching to your tax return (containing all school donation amounts paid in the year). Individual donation receipts can also be downloaded as required, or several can be selected and downloaded into a zip file.

Information is available on support.mykindo.co.nz

Using a tax agent to gift your rebate
If you have registered for TaxGift or Supergenerous, make sure this setting is correct on myKindo. Go to My Details and select edit rebate tax agent. You can specify a new Tax Agent for current and old schools, and nominate whether they should also collect the past 4 years receipts. All donation receipts will be directed from Kindo to the selected Tax Agent and rebates will be gifted to the school - there's nothing further for you to do.

NOTE: Kindo cannot change the details on your donation receipt, so please ensure your Account Holder name is correct BEFORE paying any donations. Donation receipts will only be issued for items that the school has nominated as ‘donation receipt required’.

What does this all mean?

If you do nothing, the government keeps 33.33% of all donations made.  You can decide whether to claim this back and have it paid to your account, or donate it to the school.  It's that simple. 

Remember the Kindo helpdesk are available Mon to Fri 8am to 4pm. I have phoned them on a number of occasions and they are extremely helpful - 0508 454 636 or hello@mykindo.co.nz
