Instalment arrangement proposal
About this service
This service lets you send us a proposal to pay any amount(s) that you owe us by instalments.
When to use this service
If you’re unable to pay an amount you owe us in full, use this service to propose a repayment plan regardless of whether the amount you owe is overdue or not yet due.
Note for student loan borrowers
Borrowers with an overdue student loan repayment obligation of $500 or more for 12 months or longer, will not be able to borrow through the Student Loan Scheme. This applies to all student loan applications received on or after 7 February 2013 and includes amounts under an instalment arrangement.
What you will need
- your IRD number.
- details of your current financial situation including your weekly "after tax" income.
Although not essential, it would be helpful to have details of the amount(s) you wish to pay off - you can find this on a recent statement or from our Look at Account Information service if you are registered - go to "Get it done online".
After you finish
We’ll review your proposal and contact you within three working days to either:
- let you know that we’ve accepted your proposal, or
- ask you for further information to help us make a decision.
