As the Club is an IRD approved donee you will be entitled to a cash donation rebate (up to 1/3rd back on the donation amount)
The Sponsorship option is a legitimate business expense and thus you will be entitled to a tax deduction and as we will provide a tax invoice the GST component will also be deductible.
