NEW ADVICE FROM IRD - 7 July 2008

We apologise for yet another change in advice, but unfortunately it is beyond our control. Here is the latest advice we have received from IRD:

"Following recent discussions with the Charities Commission we are reviewing our earlier advice as to whether individual PTAs are able to come under the NZPTA 'umbrella' and thereby avoid the need to register with the Charities Commission.

We are now considering whether all PTAs will indeed need to register separately. The issue is whether PTAs have a sufficient degree of association with the National/Regional body in terms of control and funding arrangements.

If we can not regard NZPTA as an umbrella organisation, we will be applying the transitional measure to the list of individual PTAs that you have provided. This will allow them time to apply to the Charities Commission while still retain their tax exemption."

"I joined my school up and they are so pleased I did. They are growing in strength and see themselves as involved in their children's education, not just as fund raisers."

"The Parent and School Today magazines are a great resource. I read it myself, and share them around the parents and staff."
