As the tax year has come to an end, we want to remind all our kind supporters that you can claim one third of your total donations to Shine.
Donations over $5 that were made between 1 April 2024 - 31 March 2025 are eligible for a tax credit.
If you haven't claimed in previous years, you can also submit receipts for up to four years.
How to claim your tax credit
You can claim your tax credit through the Inland Revenue website or by mail.

Claim online

You'll need your donation receipts - a photo, scan or PDF file. You'll also need a myIR login or a RealMe login for the Inland Revenue website.

Log in to your myIR account, or create an account if you don't have one. Find the donation tax credit section and use the following information when you enter your Shine receipts:

  • Organisation name: Shine
  • Organisation IRD number: 010-673-550
  • Organisation charity number: CC21532
  • Donation type: choose 'Other donee organisation'
  • Receipt date: use the date on your receipt OR if you have multiple donations, use 31 March 2025
  • Donation amount: enter the amount of your total Shine donations between 1 April 2024 - 31 March 2025

Attach your receipt file(s) or donation receipt summary and type a name in each attachment description (e.g. Shine Receipt 2024).

Click through and submit your claim.

N.B. If you donated through a platform like Grassrootz or Givealittle, you were sent a  receipt automatically when you gave. Shine does not hold these receipt numbers and they will need to be uploaded on myIR separately.

Put your tax credit to work
There’s no expectation to donate your tax credit back to Shine, but if you choose to, we will be very grateful.
Heart hands and person in studio

Thank you!

We want to say a huge thank you for your caring support over this past year. 

You have helped to change lives, offering support and new hope to families escaping violence.

We can't do the work we do without wonderful people like you!

Every dollar helps more families find safety from violence and a chance for a better future.

“We have a safe place to stay… food, and other needs, especially for my children.
They helped me contact the MSD to help us with our situation, arranged psychological care
for my daughter and communicated to other organisations to help us move. They guided us
in everything, all our needs. It’s a big thing… I trust them with our lives and our safety.
Thank you for your help. It is a big part of my heart.”
