*Updated: February 2025*

Thankyou Payroll offers free payroll services to registered charities in New Zealand. To access this free service, you have to provide proof of your valid registration by providing us with your charity number.

| ![Info - Blue Block (1)](https://help.thankyoupayroll.co.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/KnowledgeBase/CalloutIcons/Info%20-%20Blue%20Block%20(1).png?width=52&height=52&name=Info%20-%20Blue%20Block%20(1).png) | Please note: Registered Charities and Not-For-Profit Organisations are not the same thing. You can be recognised as a tax-exempt NFP by IRD, but if you are not a registered charity with a valid **charity number**, you do not qualify for the free payroll services offered by Thankyou Payroll. |
