Renewed focus on GST compliance

Now is a good time for you to address overdue GST.

Over the past few years the level of overdue GST returns and payments has steadily grown. During this time the majority of IRD effort has been spent on supporting business through COVID-19, and more recently adverse events.

As we transition back into more regular activity, IRD will be focused on ensuring customers meet their GST and other business obligations.

If you need help to get back on track, please contact us. There are a range of options we can use, depending on individual circumstances.

Encouraging those clients who you know are struggling to contact IRD directly or through your agency means we can avoid taking firmer action.

If clients do not proactively work with IRD, their financial situation may worsen and our ability to help them get back on track will become more limited.

We know economic times for many are still very challenging and we would appreciate your help in sharing this message.

There is further information on IRD website.
