Incorporated society

Incorporated society

in New Zealand an incorporated society is defined as being a group of at least 15 people who have applied for registration under the "Incorporated Societies Act 1908".

Once registered the Society constitutes a distinct legal entity which provides protection to members from debts, contracts etc. In return, members do not have a personal financial interest in the property or assets (if any) owned by the society.

To maintain registration, annual returns must be made to the Registrar of Incorporated Societies [http://www.societies.govt.nz/pls/web/dbssiten.main] . At any stage the Society may be wound up by members' resolution, creditors or the Registrar (if compliance is not maintained).
