IRD will not be accepting cheques from 1 March 2020. If you prefer to use cheques, start preparing to change the way you pay your tax. 

If online banking worries you because of the risk of a hacker stealing your money, you could have a special bank account and put your tax money in it only when you are ready to pay it.

Inland Revenue has advised us the payment options will be:

myIR: Direct debit and card payments can be made from myIR.

Online banking: One-off or scheduled recurring payments can be made using online banking.

Money transfer: Your clients based overseas can pay us using a money transfer service. Search for “Make a payment” on our website for more information.

Credit or debit card via our website: Payments can be made by credit or debit card through our secure payment website. Go to our website and search for “Make a payment” and select “Pay using credit or debit card”.

Westpac: EFTPOS or cash payments can be made at any Westpac branch or Smart ATM.
