Request an IR3 taxpack
About this service
This service allows individual and sole trader taxpayers to request an IR3 income tax return and guide online for the 2012 and/or 2013 financial year. If you require an IR3 income tax return and guide for earlier years, they can be found under Forms and guides, Keyword, Individual income tax, or you can phone 0800 self-service on 0800 257 773.
When to use this service
Only use this service when you are required to file an IR3. In most cases though a personal tax summary will be all you need to claim a refund.
If you have a tax agent who looks after your tax affairs, contact your agent before making a request as your agent may already have a tax pack for you. If you would like to have a taxpack sent to you instead of your agent, we will need to temporarily change your postal instructions.
If you are a tax agent and registered for E-File you need to file an IR3 through E-File.
