Charitable Trusts

Charitable Trusts are established to hold money or assets and carry out activities for the benefit of a community. They may be formed to:

  • Promote education
  • Relieve poverty
  • Promote religion

Other specific purposes of benefit to a community

Markhams  has extensive experience working with charitable trusts. Our  expertise will assist you in establishing a trust and determining the most effective way to reach your charitable goals.

We understand the requirements set out by the Registrar of Incorporated Societies, and the tax benefits approved by the IRD - such as the absence of gift duty on gifts to the trust and the absence of tax on income earned by the trust.

We will help your good works achieve maximum results.
