Revenue is available to fund government programmes through people meeting payment obligations of their own accord.

IR collects over 80% of Crown core revenue and we are the steward of the tax system.

The pages below summarise our key results from assessing and collecting tax revenue this year and protecting the overall integrity of the tax system.
