Donations are reported by category of disclosure only.

Care should be taken when aggregating values included in returns to reach a party total as donations (or contributions to them) may appear in more than one place in a return.

The categories of donations are as follows:

A    Every donor who has donated over $15,000 during the year
B    Every contributor who has donated over $15,000 during the year
C    Every anonymous donation received over $1,500
D    Every overseas donation received over $1,500
E    Every contribution from an overseas person over $1,500
F    All payments from the Electoral Commission of donations protected from disclosure
G    From 1 January 2011 there has been a new requirement for disclosure of the number and amount of other party donations that fall within the following bands:

• the number of anonymous party donations received under $1,500 and the total amount of such donations
• the number of overseas party donations received under $1,500 and the total amount of such donations
• the number of all party donations received over $1,500 but less than $5,000 and the total amount of such donations
• the number of all party donations received over $5,000 but less than $15,000 and the total amount of such donations.

Copies of returns are also available for inspection at the Electoral Commission's offices, Level 9, 17-21 Whitmore Street, Wellington, between 9am and 5pm on weekdays.
