Upcoming Key Tax date's: 1st instalment for the 2025 Provisional Tax for June balance dates – due 28 th November 2024. Please try and avoid using the tax type GAP when paying both GST and provisional tax as IRD sometimes puts a hold on these payments. We will always send tax notices to you a couple of weeks before any payment is due as a reminder. We are sending these notices by email so please ensure you check your JUNK/SPAM mail folder in case they have gone there. If you are paying IRD via Westpac you can make a cash or EFTPOS payment at any Westpac branch or Westpac Smart ATM. You will need your Tax Return or statement barcode, or you can create your own online at IRD on the link below: https://www.ird.govt.nz/managing-my-tax/make-a-payment/ways-of-paying/paying-at-westpac Please note you will need to scroll to the bottom of the page then select “create a barcode”.
