Payroll Giving - Give As You Earn

Thu 21 January 2010

The scheme allows employees to make donations to SIDS and Kids and other charitable organisations automatically from their pay. It’s a great alternative to giving, retaining a receipt and claiming a tax credit at the end of the year. The payment will be forwarded to SIDS and Kids New Zealand by the donor’s employer, and the donor will receive immediate tax benefits, shown in their normal pay, based on the amount of their donation. If you make a $6.00 donation to SIDS and Kids New Zealand every week you will receive a tax credit of $2.00. Donations will go to help SIDS and Kids New Zealand provide support to families who lose a child and to provide resources to Moe Ora, our bassinette loan scheme providing beds for babies.

To support SIDS and Kids New Zealand talk to your employer and ask them to set up the scheme.
