Request an IR3 taxpack
About this service
This service allows individual and sole trader tax payers to request an IR3 income tax return and guide online for the 2008 and/or 2009 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 INFOexpress on 0800 257 772.
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. Please go to "Temporarily change your postal address".
If you are a tax agent and registered for E-File you need to file an IR3 through E-File.
What you will need
Your IRD number - if you do not have this call us on 0800 227 774.
After you finish
Once your request has been submitted your IR3 taxpack should arrive in approximately 10 working days. If it does not arrive please let us know on 0800 227 774.
If you wish to keep a copy of your request for your own records, please print or save the confirmation page .
