If you need to file an Annual imputation return - IR4J, use the Companies income tax return - IR4.

- credits
- debits.
After you log in to myIR, go to your income tax account
Select 'Returns and transactions'
Select 'File return' and follow the prompts
You'll need to:
- select your income types

Our Annual imputation return guide will help you.
Log in to myIR
You can also send us a completed IR4J by attaching it to a message in myIR, or by posting it to us at:
Inland Revenue
PO Box 39090

You can also file returns for previous years.
What happens next
We’ll use your return to update your running balance for your imputation credit account.
It will be updated with the latest return’s income tax payments, transfers in, income tax disbursements and transfers out.
The running balance determines which income tax disbursement limitation rules will apply.
If you file an imputation return with a credit or nil closing balance we will not post a transaction to your account.
Any imputation liabilities will be managed through your company’s income tax account.
