Returns and Information

Use this repository to access software development kits (SDKs) for returns and information services offered through Inland Revenue's gateway services. They all use the Return service.

Accounting Income Method (AIM)

AIM is a provisional tax option that uses accounting software to work out how much provisional tax small businesses will have to pay throughout the year.

Goods and services Tax (GST)

GST is a 15% tax added to the price of most goods and services in New Zealand, including imported goods and services. Anyone registered for GST must file returns.

Income Tax and Donation Tax Credits

Organisations can use this service for Income Tax (INC) returns and Donation Tax Credit (DTC) forms through the Return Service including

• submit new or amended INC return or DTC form
• request income tax information held by us for a customer
• query the processing status of a previously filed INC return or DTC form
• request a copy of a previously filed INC return or DTC form
• request the due date of the next expected income tax return

Investment Income Reporting

• Investment income reporting through gateway services lets organisations securely file investment income information, amend a previously filed return and retrieve a return status or return data.
• It is available for the withholding tax product types - Approved issuer levy (AIL), Dividend withholding tax (DWT), Interest pay as you earn (IPS), Non-resident withholding tax (NRT), Resident withholding tax (RWT) and Portfolio investment entities (PIE) attributed income tax

Payday Filing

Push Notification

The Push Notification service
