FAQs

Why is the statement only in one person's name?  We both give - why doesn't the giving statement show this? 
The statement is printed in the name of the person linked to the giving number you use.   If you would like your giving statement to be combined with your spouse/partner - please let us know, we will be happy to do this for you. 

There is no financial advantage to couples in receiving a combined or separated receipts, unless you cannot claim the total rebate yourself because you have not paid enough tax.  


Can I combine my giving with another person?
You can combine your giving with your spouse. See IRD's rules for 'Sharing Receipts.'  

If you are a married couple you can use the receipt with both your names, and each of you claim half (or any ratio) of the total.  


Why is my giving combined with another person in my family?
Because in our database you are set for 'combined statement.' Let us know if this is incorrect and we will change it. 

Why don't the dates show correctly on my Giving History? 
The format for dates in your web browser is determined by your browser's language (country) settings.
Make sure your browser's language is set to New Zealand.

Check out www.wikihow.com/Change-Your-Browser's-Language if you need to change your settings.

Can you post me my donation tax receipt?
Yes, please ask us and we will be happy to post your receipt.

Can I see the individual transactions that make up my total giving?
Yes, just click on the [ year ] button under "Available Contribution Statements for tax years - Full Transaction List", or use the Giving History section.


Can I get a statement with just the summary of my giving, without all the transactions? 
Yes, just click on the [ year ] button under "Available Contribution Statements for tax years - Summary"

Why do I have an extra 1 cent in my list of transactions?
Our software looks for a donation in the start of the tax year (the period from 01 April to 31 Dec in order to make the statement available. If you only gave in the 01 Jan to 31 Mar period for the tax year, we 'give' you 1 cent in the previous year so your statement shows up.
