Few gift tax-cut money
The response to a call, by church groups for people to give their tax-cut money to charity has been sluggish, says the director of the Catholic Commission for Justice, Evangelisation and Development, the Rev. John Curnow. A group, the Church in Community, circulated pamphlets soon after the new tax structure was announced,
'asking those who had profited by it to contribute the extra each week to help the needy. The group, a coalition ot the National Council of Churches, the Catholic commission and the Ecumenical Secretariat on Development, is based in .Auckland. The scheme is administered by the Ecumenical
Secretariat, and decisions on the use of funds are made by district groups, Father Curnow said that the response had “not been all that great,” according to the reports received. “Some hopeful people thought that it might attract a certain amount of support, but there has been no great rush to it,” he said.
