Late payment penalty fee

Members and subscribers are required to renew or cancel all subscriptions by July 31. To cover additional administrative costs resulting from late payments, a late fee will become payable if your complete payment is not received on Institute premises on or before July 31.

Refund

A $20 administration fee will apply to all refunds relating to products and services that have been provided on request. This fee is required to offset additional administrative costs. Refunds to overseas credit cards will be in New Zealand Dollars and subject to the exchange rate at the time.

Change of residence: Impact on subscription fees

At the request of members, we have sought a tax opinion on the application of New Zealand Goods and Services Tax (GST) on the annual subscription fees when members change their country of residence during the course of a financial year. The tax opinion is that the time of supply for services to members is at the beginning of the subscription year, and that the right of membership for the whole year is granted at this time. Therefore, a member's residence is only relevant for the first day of the subscription year.

Accordingly, membership fee adjustments for change of residence during the year are not applicable. For more information, contact our Annual Billing Team.
