GIFTS TO CHURCHES
Tax Relief Ruling (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 7. A wife’s contribution of donations to churches may be included in her husband’s application for exemption of income tax, the Minister of Finance (Mr Lake) said today A number of churches had raised the question of responsibility for contributions made jointly by husbands and wives in assessing eligibility for tax exemption. said the position was that receipts made out for both husband and wife jointly could be attached to the husband's tax return and he could claim exemption. A receipt could also be attached to the husband’s return in cases in which the wife paid income tax and each could claim exemption for part of the amount contributed. Mr Lake said that in cases tn which a contribution was made in the wife’s name and the husband claimed exemption it was assumed that the contribution had come from his funds and had been made with his agreement.
