Apply For IRD Number :
Do I need an IRD number?:
You should apply for an IRD number if:
** you are earning an income
** you are starting a business
Related / Similar Service : IRD Check Your Balance New Zealand
** you are registering for Working for Families Tax Credits
** you are registering for a student loan
** your child has a part-time job
** you file tax returns
** you ask us about your tax
** you apply for child support.
It is not compulsory for every individual (eg baby, child) to have an IRD number, but if you or your children are earning income you have to pay tax. If you do not have an IRD number, tax will be deducted at a no-declaration rate, which is higher than the normal deduction rate. You can also apply for an IRD number for your child so a lower rate of withholding tax is deducted from interest earned on their bank balance.
You do not have to be a New Zealand citizen or resident to have an IRD number. You need to apply for one if you:
** are in New Zealand on a visa with work rights
** intend to work, and
** you do not already have an IRD number.
Important:
If you’re registering for Working for Families Tax Credits you need to supply an IRD number for you and your children. If you don’t provide us with IRD numbers for your children, your Working for Families Tax Credits payments will stop after the first eight weeks.
How to apply for an IRD number:
You can apply for an IRD number for yourself, your children or your organisation, using one of the following forms. We will send your IRD number within 8-10 working days of receiving your application.
** IR595 (individual) – adult and children
** IR596 (non-individual) – company, partnership, estate, trust, club, society, superannuation scheme and Maori authority
Note:
If you’re the parent of a new baby and you haven’t registered their birth yet, you can apply for your baby’s IRD number when you complete the birth registration form.
IR595 – Individual (adults and children):
Please print, complete and sign your IR595. You can also complete this form onscreen by typing onto the PDF document. Take the form with your identification documents to an Inland Revenue appointed verifier. Further details can be found on the form
Category A documents:
You must provide one original and one legible photocopy of one of the following documents:
** Full New Zealand birth certificate issued on or after 1 January 1998. Birth certificates issued after 1 January 1998 carry a unique identification number. If you hold a birth certificate issued before 1 January 1998, and wish to hold a birth certificate with a unique identification number, contact the Department of Internal Affairs
