Donors are automatically emailed a receipt for every one-off donation made over NZ $5. Where a one-off donation is made a donation receipt is automatically e-mailed to the address provided and this receipt can be used to claim a donation tax credit with Inland Revenue. Where a regular donation is established an e-mail confirming the details of the regular donation is sent immediately. Shortly after the 31st of March each year a donation receipt for the total amount given during the past year will be automatically e-mailed to the address provided and this receipt can be used to claim a donation credit with Inland Revenue.
