0800 self-service lines
Phone numbers |
We offer a range of automated options through our 0800 self-service lines. You can order stationery (forms and guides) and request personal tax summaries using our natural language speech recognition (NLSR) system. This lets you use your voice instead of keying in numbers on the phone's keypad. For all other services you'll need to use a touch tone phone and key in numbers for options.
Remember to have your IRD number handy when you call.
It's also helpful if you know the number of any forms or booklets you're ordering. For access to personal information, such as account balances, you'll need a 0800 self-service PIN. You can get a PIN by calling 0800 257 777 and following the step-by-step instructions.
You can phone our 0800 self-service line for the following services at any time (except between 5am and 6am) seven days a week. Please note these services will be unavailable, due to regular maintenance every Sunday from 12.30am to 4.30am and from 10pm to midnight on the last day of each month.
All hours of service are in New Zealand standard time: November to February GMT + 12 hours, March to October GMT + 13 hours.

Use the following process to request forms or books using the 0800 self-service stationery line. Instead of pressing buttons, just say the form name or number of the item that you want:
Stationery ordering process:
| Entering your IRD number | |
| Step 1 | You'll be asked to say your IRD number or enter it using the keypad of your phone. |
|---|---|
| Step 2 | Once you have spoken or keyed your IRD number, you will be asked to hold while your IRD number is checked. |
| Confirming your address | |
| Step 3 |
We'll tell you the last date you changed your address with us. If you have not changed your address since this date, say "no". If you have changed your address say "yes". Note: If your address has changed, you will be asked to record your new address and phone details so we know where to send the stationery. When you've done this, continue with step 4 and your stationery will be sent to your updated address. |
| Ordering stationery | |
| Step 4 |
We'll ask you to say the name or form number of the item you want. Note: If you don't know the name or form number please say "I don't know" and continue to answer the questions asked. |
| Step 5 |
The system will say "I heard (form name or number), is that right?" Simply answer "yes" or "no". If "no", answer the questions asked to continue |
| Step 6 | We'll ask you how many copies you would like. Say the number of forms you require. The system will then advise how long it will take to receive the stationery. |
| Step 7 |
Finally we'll ask you if you would like another item of stationery. Say "yes" or "no". If "yes", answer the questions to continue. |
| Step 8 | If "no", you'll hear a final message: "Thank you for calling Inland Revenue" and the call will end. |
