Common questions we are asked

Before you contact us to ask a question - the answer may be on this page...


Customer confidentiality

When a media enquiry is made to Inland Revenue, more than just the Official Information Act 1982 and Privacy Act 1993 come into play. In particular, the secrecy obligations under section 81 of the Tax Administration Act 1994 ("the Act") may well determine whether any information can be provided.
