Some services unavailable 16 - 17 November | myIR, gateway services and our self-service phone line will not be available from 3pm Saturday 16 November to 9am Sunday 17 November while we do planned system testing. This will not affect any tax entitlements or payments scheduled during this time.

We contribute to the economic and social wellbeing of New Zealand by collecting and distributing money.

We serve the people of New Zealand by focusing on:

  • Revenue being available to fund government programmes through people meeting payment obligations of their own accord.
  • People receiving payments they are entitled to, enabling them to participate in society.
  • New Zealanders benefitting economically and socially through Inland Revenue working collaboratively across our external environment.

We collect over 80% of the Crown’s revenue.

We manage student loan and child support obligations, make Working for Families, parental leave and Best Start payments, and administer KiwiSaver.

We administer the small business cashflow (loan) scheme and the resurgence support payment introduced in response to COVID-19.
