How to give someone new access to your account, change your rules or constitution, reregister to keep your tax benefits and update your organisation type.

Getting someone new to access your account

You can authorise someone new to access your account, for example if you've got a new treasurer or chairperson.

Changing your rules or constitution

You need to tell us if you've changed your rules, constitution or founding documents.

Maintain your registration to keep your tax benefits

If you are an incorporated society or registered charitable trust, you must maintain your registration with the Companies Office to keep your tax benefits.

Reregister your incorporated society to keep your IRD number

If your incorporated society was registered before 5 October 2023, you must reregister it by 5 April 2026 to keep your incorporated society status and current IRD number.

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 will need a new IRD number and to reapply for any tax benefits.

Contact us if  nou're not sure what to do.
