Becoming an employer: How to register as an employer

Registering as an employer

You will need an IRD number to register as an employer. Use your existing IRD number if you already have one.

How to register

You can either:

  • use the online employer registration, or
  • complete an Employer registration form (IR334) and post it to us.

Getting an IRD number if you don't already have one

You can apply using an:

  • IRD number application - individual (IR595) if you are an individual in business
  • IRD number application - non-individual (IR596) if you are a company, partnership, estate, trust, club, society, superannuation scheme or Maori authority.
Note  
Companies can automatically register for an IRD number when they register their company with the Companies Office.
