How to claim or regift your tax credit

For every donation you make over $5, you are able to claim 33.33% back in tax credit, and you can claim up to 4 years previous if you haven’t already done so. Below are instructions on how you can claim back or gift your tax credit through IRD.

You will need an IRD login. Please note:

  • If you have made a one-off donation, you will require the receipt that was given to you at the time of your donation
  • If you are a Hero for Kid’s donor or a Kiwi Kid’s Sponsor you will receive an end of year receipt with all of your monthly donations. This will be provided to you by the end of April.
