It seems to be all there - I just wanted an outside opinion as I recall some years ago there was a limit on how much you can donate before there's no tax benefit. So from what I read, the limit is based on the year's total salary and any portion that is left unused in the donation, can be shared to the partner or spouse and within a 4 year time frame. IMO, this is VERY generous in NZ's tax perspective.

Yes that's correct and it has been a major change from the pretty tight limit that prevailed a few years back. Makes giving decent amounts of money to very worthy causes even more of a rewarding experience than it used to be

Its good to give back into the community, its the gift you give yourself, food for one's own soul. https://www.christianity.com/church/...o-receive.html
