Tax efficient giving

Gifts of money by New Zealand resident taxpayers to a charity now receive exceptionally favourable treatment namely a 33 1/3 % donations tax credit on any gift (up to a limit of total net taxable income for all gifts combined in a given tax year).

For United States resident taxpayers, a gift to the Friends of The University of Auckland (a 501 (c) 3 supporting organisation) qualifies the donor for the normal tax deductions associated with a gift to a charity in the United States.

For United Kingdom resident taxpayers, a gift to the UK Friends of The University of Auckland (a UK-registered charity) qualifies the charity to claim Gift Aid from the Inland Revenue for every pound given. Residents in higher tax brackets may claim additional benefits related to their gift on their tax returns. Please contact the Acting Foundation Administrator for further information - j.bird@auckland.ac.nz

For Canadian resident taxpayers, a gift to The University of Auckland (a prescribed university listed on Schedule VIII of the Canadian Income Tax Act) qualifies the donor for the normal tax deductions associated with a gift to a charity in Canada.

Resident taxpayers who would like to support this Campaign are invited to contact the Acting Foundation Administrator with regard to tax rebates and deductibility - j.bird@auckland.ac.nz.
