Changing your organisation type

Tell us if your not-for-profit has changed its organisation type – for example, from an incorporated society to a charitable trust. You may need a new IRD number or to reapply for any tax benefits.

Depending on your change, you may also need to contact Charities Services or the Companies Office.
