Questions

NGO or not-for-profit company: which should we choose?

An NGO suits community and donor-funded work, which goes through the Social Welfare Council. A not-for-profit company suits professional bodies, corporate foundations and institutes that want company-style governance. We compare both for you at the start.

Can we take foreign funding?

Yes, after affiliating with the Social Welfare Council. Each foreign-funded project then needs the Council's approval before the money arrives.

Is an NGO tax-free once registered?

Not automatically. It needs IRD's tax-exemption certificate, renewed every year. Interest, rent and business income stay taxable.

What happens to the assets if the NGO closes?

Under the Association Registration Act they pass to the Government.
