Get it done online:

Get it done online is where to go when you want to complete a form and send it via the Internet to us, make a payment, look at your account information, use our 'Send and receive mail' service, file an employer schedule or register for some of our services. It is also the place where you can make an appointment to see us, give us your feedback or make a complaint. You can find the service you need by keyword, activity or by the name of the service. Once you find the service that you want, clicking on the 'Full description >' link will tell you when to use the service, what you need to do to complete the online form and what to do when you have finished. If you get stuck, or need assistance filling in a form, many of our services provide links to help and detailed explanations of some questions.

Work it out:

This is where you will find all the calculators, worksheets and other tools you may need to work out if you need to fill out a return, make a payment or estimate any assistance benefits you may be entitled to. You can also download tables of data you may require such as the PAYE deduction tables. You can find out about the different tax rates as well work out your personal or business filing and payment dates. These tools, including our online calculators, are for your use only and no information is sent to us for processing.

Forms and guides:

In the Forms and guides area of the site you will find all of the forms and guides that we publish in paper format. These documents are downloadable and many of them can be filled out on-screen before printing and posting to Inland Revenue. You can find the form or guide you need by keyword, document title or number (for example, IR330). If you want to know how to fill out a form, what you need to complete it and what to do when you finish then simply click on the 'Full description >' link.
