IR873 Report tax evasion or fraud anonymously
About this
Paying tax is important - it pays for things that make New Zealand a great place to live. Most people do the right thing and pay their fair share.
We are committed to targeting tax evasion and fraud. If you have information about tax evasion and fraud, you can report it to us anonymously by using this form. You will be helping keep our tax system fair for everyone.

Providing your name and contact details is voluntary. We will keep your details confidential within Inland Revenue unless we are required or authorised to release your details by law.
Our tax secrecy obligations prevent us from providing you with progress updates or other details of any investigations that may result from the information you have provided.
