Sir, – The prime message in Denise Charlton's piece seems to be a request to change the tax legislation governing charitable donations (Opinion & Analysis, November 24th).

New Zealand, the country mentioned in her column, gives tax relief of 33 per cent on charitable donations – to the donor. – Yours, etc,
