Maintaining tax agents' details with Inland Revenue
You can make changes to your agency details by:
- calling the tax agents' line, or
- using the Application to be a tax agent, update your details, or cease to be a tax agent (IR791) form. You can use the IR791 to inform us of:
- changes to addresses
- changes to payment form requirements
- changes to statement styles, and/or
- the closing of your agency.
Setting up separate lists for each partner
If a firm of accountants or tax consultants has a number of partners, those partners can be separately registered in our system as representatives of that tax agency. This lets us issue separate reports for each partner's list of clients, which may help administration of client lists for EOT purposes, particularly for large tax agencies. Call us on the tax agents' line for details.
Adding partners
You can add separate lists for each partner by filling in the Application to be a tax agent, update your details, or cease to be a tax agent (IR791) form. The declaration on this form must be signed in every instance.
E-Filing tax agents
Your E-File software package is specific to your agency IRD number. If for any reason your agency IRD number changes, your software package must be updated.
If you continue to E-File returns without the software being updated, your clients will be delinked from your agency as you file their returns and they will also receive letters telling them that they have been removed from your client list. E-Filing the return may not result in the client being automatically linked to your new agency IRD number.
If you update your software with your new IRD number, and have requested a bulk transfer of clients to your new number, it's important that you don't E-File any returns on your updated software until the bulk transfer has been successfully completed.
Please tell us that you require confirmation of successful completion when requesting bulk transfers of your client base.
