Charities Commission:

This is very important information for your club’s future operation in regard to the New Zealand Charities Commission and Tax on Project Funds.

Senior officers at national level have had several meetings with the Inland Revenue Department and the Charities Commission and have recommended to the Multiple District Council that all New Zealand Lions and Lioness Clubs seriously consider establishing a Charitable Trust to enable the club to continue to qualify for income tax exemptions and to register with the Charities Commission.

Please do not hesitate contacting your District Governor or the MD Legal Counsel, the MD Treasurer or the Executive Officer for any assistance or advice.
