Consultation is underway by the Inland Revenue on the taxation of charities and not-for-profits.
The IRD is looking at the tax exemptions for businesses run by charities and also at donor-controlled charities.
It's looking at whether tax concessions are effective and if there are other ways of providing assistance.
But experts working in the not for profit and charitable sector are worried the government is looking to the sector to increase tax revenue.
Kathryn talks to Craig Fisher, a former auditor, now consultant and board member who works with not for profits, and Geof Nightingale an advisor and former member of the Tax Working Group, which in 2018 also flagged tax exemptions for businesses run by charities.
