How to pay the IRD

You can pay the IRD through your MyIR account, but the easiest way that we recommend is through your online banking! This way you won’t get charged any fees, and can set payments up to be made immediately, or at a future date like with any online banking payments.

These options apply for paying any tax type but the most common tax to pay is terminal or provisional income tax (code INC), GST or Employment Activity deductions like PAYE and Kiwisaver (code EMP).

Below are some of the common banks, and links to how to pay the IRD with them specifically.
