Did you know that the ‘contributions’ on your school fees account attract a tax credit? Don’t let that money go to waste!

We are excited to announce that St Bede’s has partnered with TaxGift, a simple-to-use service that enables you to donate this tax credit back to us, boosting your donation by up to 48% at no additional cost to you!

It’s the easiest fundraising ever and takes less than a minute to register, simply follow this link TaxGift Register 

Imagine what we could achieve for our school if everyone TaxGifted!

How does it work?

TaxGift is simple: you opt in for your donations to us from this tax year forwards, and the experts at TaxGift work with us and Inland Revenue to do the rest. Best of all, each gift goes on giving through the years until a minimum of $5 is reached, without you having to do anything further.

Here’s how a $100 donation becomes $148.14, with TaxGift:

Historic donations

Here’s how you can help even further. If you haven’t claimed your tax credit on donations to us in the past four years, simply tick the box on the form when you sign up and the team at TaxGift will claim them as a further gift to us. It’s that easy to make a meaningful contribution back to our school.

What else should you know?

It won’t cost you anything to sign up to TaxGift; no money leaves your bank account (although the school pays TaxGift a small fee for its services). Signing up to TaxGift appoints TaxGift as your tax agent solely for the purpose of gifting your tax credits back to St Bede’s. Don’t worry - it does not affect any other tax agents that you might have (for example, if you have an accountant who does your tax returns). You must be an individual New Zealand tax resident who has earned taxable income in the relevant tax year to be eligible for the tax credit and you can opt out of TaxGift at any time by emailing their friendly team.

You can visit TaxGift's website www.taxgift.co.nz for more information.

Thank you for your continued support of our school and its staff and students.
