Calculating tax liability/credit
Determining a not-for-profit organisation’s tax
liability/credit is not necessarily straight forward.
For example, often the amount of tax to be paid on income will not be
able to be estimated directly from the financial statements of the
organisation. The issues are further complicated when an
organisation undertakes both not-for-profit and commercial activities,
or undertakes activities overseas.
The issues touched on above and more are discussed
in some detail on the Inland Revenue Department web site.
