If you no longer get paper bank statements, what would you do if Inland Revenue asked you to supply them?

The department is entitled to call for your bank statements, including your personal ones. If the department doesn’t believe your tax return, you have to proveyour innocence.

We suggest, if you don’t receive paper copies, download your bank statements regularly on to your computer. If IRD wanted them and you couldn’t supply, they’d get them from the bank and guess who would pay.
