Copeland: Budget betrays charities
United Future revenue spokesman Gordon Copeland today expressed his deep disappointment that last week�s Budget contained nothing for charities.
�Indeed they weren't even mentioned!� he said.
�United Future specifically asked the Government to raise the tax rebate level for donations to charities from $630 per annum to $ 5,000 per annum with a comparable increase for companies.
�We also asked that dividend imputation tax credits be extended to registered charities as soon as the Charities Commission is established."
