Only a group representative can register a GST group.
Before you start
If you are registering a company-only group you will need the names and IRD numbers of the companies holding the common interest.
If you are registering a mixed group you will need the name and IRD number of the controlling entity or entities.
You will also need the names and IRD numbers of all other members of the group.
Any GST-registered members must use the same filing frequency and accounting basis as the group.
Select 'More' on the GST account
Select 'Register as a GST group'
Provide the information requested.
The last step is to submit your registration. We'll send you confirmation that we've received your registration.
Log in to myIR
You can register the group by completing the 'Goods and services tax application for group registration' form - IR374.
What happens next
We will:
- process your request within 10 working days
- contact you if we need further information.
The group's GST account will show in myIR once we have confirmed its registration.
