Tax Rebate 2026

Claim Your Tax Rebate and Make an Immediate Difference

Every year, many New Zealanders miss out on claiming their charitable tax rebate — money that already belongs to them.

By claiming yours, and choosing to gift it forward to Tōtara Hospice, you can turn something already yours into more care for local families.

Why Claim Your Rebate?

If you’ve donated more than $5, you’re entitled to claim back 33.33% from Inland Revenue.
A $100 donation returns $33.33
A $50 donation returns $16.66
A $200 donation returns $66.66

When gifted forward, your rebate becomes extra support for patients and their whānau — providing comfort, dignity, and care when it matters most.

 

How to Claim

You can claim for donations made in the last four years.

Online via myIR (quickest):

  2. Select “Submit a Donation Receipt”
  3. Upload your receipts

By post:
