Did you know you can apply for a tax rebate from the Inland Revenue Department for your voluntary school donations?
You may be able to get a rebate of up to one third of the voluntary school donations you have paid if you:
have earned taxable income
lived in New Zealand at any time over the tax year
are an individual (not a company or partnership for tax purposes), and
have paid voluntary donations to a state or state-integrated school
You can claim for donations to most schools and parent-teacher associations.
You cannot claim for:
tuition fees
private school fees
exam fees
attendance dues
tertiary education fees
parent-teacher association membership fees
costs for a student doing a voluntary activity which is not part of the school curriculum
costs of materials for something a student made at school and took home, such as something made in a woodwork class.

This link shows you how you can either upload receipts over the year or at the end of the year to claim back.
On your home page once you have logged in, on the bottom half of the page under All accounts (tax types) that you can access is a box with donation tax credit on it.
Click on this and you will be able to add a new receipt there.
