IRD numbers
New investors in a PIE who are resident in New Zealand must provide you with their IRD numbers. If they fail to provide their IRD number within 6 weeks, you must close their accounts.
Non-residents who do not have an IRD number must provide the equivalent tax identification number for their country of residence, or a declaration if they are unable to. Non-residents who subsequently become residents must provide you with their IRD numbers within 6 weeks of notifying you they have become a resident, or you must close their accounts.
If you allow investors to invest jointly, then you must collect the IRD number of each of the joint investors. If any joint investors fail to provide their IRD numbers within 6 weeks of opening the joint account, you must exit them from the investment.
