When to use this guide
Most salary and wage earners and those who receive benefits and pensions pay the correct amount of tax and don't need a personal tax summary to square up their end-of-year tax.
Remember:
- To ensure you're taxed at the right rate, make sure you give your employer your correct IRD number and correct tax code. If you're on the wrong tax code, we'll write to you during the tax year, suggesting you correct it.
- If you've given your bank your IRD number, the tax on your interest will automatically be deducted at 19.5% (unless you've told your bank otherwise). If you don't give your bank your IRD number, the tax will be deducted at 39%.
