About us

We collect most of the revenue that government needs to fund its programmes. We also administer a number of social support programmes.

Our Charter is our commitment to making sure we work effectively with the community.

Most New Zealanders believe that paying the correct amount of tax is the right thing to do. Our goal is to make it easy to pay the correct amount of tax, and hard to get it wrong. Find out some of the ways we make tax easy, how we'll help if you're trying to get it right, and how we spot those trying to avoid their obligations.

We're changing to make it simpler and faster for New Zealanders to pay their taxes and receive their entitlements.

Our official social media channels give you important updates, information and reminders to help you get your taxes and entitlements right.
