How to claim your tax credit.

Giving

Supporting the Ministry And Mission of Knox  Church Waitara

At Knox we believe God has called us to share the good news of Jesus and serve our community with generosity, hospitality, and love. Everything we do together; Sunday worship, pastoral care, community outreach, youth ministry, prayer, discipleship, and practical support for those in need-is made possible through the faithful giving of our church family.

If you’re new to Knox or considering making this your spiritual home, we invite you to take part in this ministry through prayer, service, and financial support as you are able. Your giving directly enables the mission and ongoing life of our church.

Because Knox Presbyterian Church is a registered charity, 33% of what you give can be claimed back from Inland Revenue as a donation tax credit.

How to Claim Your

Donation Tax Credit

You no longer need a paper form. Donation tax credits can be claimed easily through your myIR account on Inland Revenue’s secure website.

  • Refunds are processed much faster through myIR

  • Receipts can be electronic, or simply photos/scans of paper receipts

  • Upload your receipts anytime during the year

  • More information: ird.govt.nz/donations

At the end of each financial year (31 March), the church treasurer will provide you with an official receipt showing your total giving for the year.

To make sure your giving is recorded correctly, please contact the treasurer for your personal giving number.
