Emailed to: [email address]
Dear S9(2)(a)
Formal notice: Please ensure that your charity is up-to-date with filing Annual
Returns to avoid being deregistered.
Our records show that we have not received complete Annual Returns from your
charity for the years ending 31 March 2016 and 2017. This is despite the fact that we
have sent reminders about the need to file Annual Returns to the contact email
address that your charity has provided to us.
We are therefore sending you this formal notice that Charities Services intends to
remove Te Kaha O Te Rangatahi Incorporated (your charity) from the Charities
Register unless we receive complete Annual Returns for the years ending 31 March
2016 and 2017 by Wednesday, 01 November 2017.
Every charity registered with Charities Services is required to file an Annual Return
(including financial statements) within six months of its annual balance date.1 Annual
Returns are important because they enable the public to access relevant information
about a charity’s activities and use of resources, leading to greater public trust and
confidence in the charitable sector.
Grounds for this notice
We consider that your charity’s failure to file Annual Returns for the years ending 31
under the Official Information Act 1982
March 2016 and 2017 is a persistent breach of your charity’s obligations under the
Act and grounds for removal from the Charities Register.2
This letter is to advise you that, as a result of the failure to file the Annual Returns,
we intend to remove Te Kaha O Te Rangatahi Incorporated from the Charities
Register on Wednesday 01 November 2017, unless we receive complete Annual
Returns for the years ending 31 March 2016 and 2017 before this date.
Removal from the Charities Register will mean that your charity is no longer

registered as a charitable entity under the Charities Act 2005. Further it will no longer
be eligible for tax exemption on charitable grounds or the other benefits of
registration. Further information about the consequences of deregistration is

As required by section 41 of the Charities Act 2005.

Request to remove Te Kaha O Te Rangatahi Incorporated from the Charities Register
We have received a request that Te Kaha O Te Rangatahi Incorporated (CC31970) should be
removed from the Charities Register. Attached is a summary of the deregistraton application.
If you wish us to proceed with removing Te Kaha O Te Rangatahi Incorporated from the Register, you
do not need to take any further action. The effective date of deregistration will be 5 November 2017 as
requested. I encourage you to read the information below about the consequences for and obligations
Information
of Te Kaha O Te Rangatahi Incorporated following deregistration.
If you believe this request has been made in error, please contact Charities Services on our free
information line 0508 242 748 before Sunday, 19 November 2017.
Removal from the Charities Register means that Te Kaha O Te Rangatahi Incorporated will no longer
be registered as a charitable entity with Charities Services. Further, it will no longer be eligible for
Official
charitable tax status or the other benefits of registration. Information will continue to be displayed on
the Charities Register, indicating that the charity has been removed from the register voluntarily.
A deregistered charity must no longer call itself (or imply that it is) a “registered charitable entity” and
the
must not display or promote its former charities registration number. If Te Kaha O Te Rangatahi
Incorporated is an incorporated society, it must go back to filing returns with the Companies Office.
Registered charities are eligible for charitable tax status. However, when a charity is deregistered it
will become liable for income tax. This applies unless the charity qualifies for another tax exemption.
For example, if a sports club is deregistered, it might instead qualify for a tax exemption as an amateur
sports body.
under
Recent changes to tax legislation means that a deregistered charity may also need to pay a one-off
tax on the accumulated assets that are held as at the date of deregistration. A deregistered charity has
12 months to distribute those assets to another registered charity or give assets to charitable
purposes. Assets which have not been distributed within 12 months of deregistration will be taxed.
Alternatively, if the charity re-applies and is again registered as a charity within 12 months of
deregistration, it will not be taxed on its accumulated assets.
A deregistered charity may also lose its eligibility to provide receipts for donees to claim tax rebates.
Released
Charities Services advises Inland Revenue and the Companies Office (for incorporated societies,
charitable trusts, and companies) when charities are deregistered.
