The IRD are now accepting parents' 2018 school donation rebate claims.

A number of our schools have started to make their parents aware of an easier way to claim back their school donations and this has seen a spike in parents making claims. SchoolRebates.co.nz is a Kiwi company that helps parents easily claim back school donations.

School Rebates have also put together the blurb below that you can include in any communication:

Get cash back in your pocket - claim your school donation tax rebate
 
We encourage parents to claim their school donation each year but recent research shows that millions of dollars goes unclaimed every year by families across NZ.
 
Schoolrebates.co.nz have made it easy for you to claim your tax rebate back using their online platform. Their feedback shows the process is quick and easy, and if you’ve never claimed you can go back 4 years!

If you don’t have receipts you can request these as part of the online process and we will provide them directly to Schoolrebates.co.nz.  No paperwork or dealing with IRD required.
 
To illustrate, if you have two children at school and are paying $600 a year in donations you are entitled to $199.98 - over four years this would be $799.92 in cash back.

If your school uses Facebook, you can also link up Schoolrebates on Facebook/Instagram @Schoolrebates.
