Your donations to us help pay for music lessons for Southland children in need.

Our charitable purpose is to:

As a registered charity, people and companies can get tax credits for giving us donations. 

We issue tax receipts for all donations which you can use to claim your tax credit.

For individuals:

From the IRD website here: https://www.ird.govt.nz/income-tax/income-tax-for-individuals/individual-tax-credits/donation-tax-credits

"You can claim tax credits for donations you make to approved organisations, such as registered charities and schools.

You can submit your donation receipts to us to claim 1/3rd of the value of eligible donations over $5. You can only claim donation receipts that add up to your total taxable income for a tax year. If your total donations were more than your total taxable income in a year, you can split your donations and allow your partner to claim the rest (up to their taxable income)."

For companies:

Companies can claim tax deductions for cash donations made to an approved donee organisation providing their claim does not exceed their total annual net income (as worked out before taking the deduction into account). Such a tax deduction reduces the amount of taxable income. That means in most cases a company would reduce their income tax payable by 28% (the company tax rate) of the value of their cash donations.
