Help IR4 2004 - company details

Fill in Questions 1 and 2 in all cases, but update Questions 3 to 8 only if the correct information is not printed on the paper return.

Question 1 - IRD number and DLN number

When you transmit your return to Inland Revenue, we use the IRD number and DLN number to:

  • confirm that the return being sent is the one you intended to send
  • help confirm that the person sending the return is authorised to do so
  • allow the return to be passed directly into our computer system.

If any of the above information doesn't match with our records there will be a delay in processing the return and sending the assessment or refund. We may need to phone you to ask which company the return was intended for.

To get the best possible service please use the DLN number printed on the front of the paper return for the same company and year for which you are filing. If you don't have the DLN number, call us on 0800 377 774 and we can help.

Question 2 - Company name

If the company has changed its name since the last time a return was filed, and you have not let us know before now, please send us a copy of the new certificate of incorporation with the name change details so we can update our records.

Question 4 - Postal address

If your address is different to the preprinted address on the paper return you received from us, you'll need to change it here so we can make sure we send your returns to the correct address in the future.

Note: If you use your agent's postal address leave this address panel blank. Your tax agent will let us know of any changes of address when updating their client list with us.

If your address is a PO Box number, please show your box lobby. If you are unsure what your box lobby is or whether you have one, please contact NZ Post on 0800 501 501.

Question 6 - Business description

If the business description is not shown or has changed, please complete Box 6.

It is important that the description used is one that most accurately reflects the nature of business or trade undertaken.

We are lawfully required to supply the business description to ACC for levy classification and calculation purposes.

The booklet 'Determining your business industry description and code' will help you determine this description. A copy is available through:

If, after reading the booklet, you are unable to identify a description that accurately reflects the nature of your business, please describe your business activity in Box 6 or phone ACC on 0800 222 776.

Note
Please provide the description text only. Do not show the corresponding code.

Question 7 - Phone number

We ask for your daytime phone number so that we can contact you if necessary to ask questions about your return.

Question 8 - Bank account number

Refund by direct credit

We recommend the company receives any refund by direct credit to its bank account because it is faster than a cheque.

If you want a refund direct credited and the company's correct account number is not preprinted here, write it in Box 8.

If the company's refund was direct credited last year, any refund due this year may go to the same account. If you want to change the direct credit to a new account please print the new account number in Box 8.

Refund by cheque

If a bank account number is shown on the paper return but you want to receive the refund by cheque, you must tick Box 29F of the return.
