You can access your income information anytime in myIR. The information here will help you understand and get the most out of your income summary.
Overview of your income
To get to your income summary in myIR select 'Income summary' from your 'Income tax' account.
An overview of your income by source is displayed, along with the amount (income before tax) and any deductions. You can change the period the summary is for by selecting 'Other' and changing the 'From' and 'To' fields. You can select any time period from 1 April 2015 onwards.
The following income sources will display on this overview, but only if you have income from that source.
- Salary, wages, benefits and taxable pensions.
- Schedular income.
- Portfolio investment entity (PIE) income.
- New Zealand interest received.
- Dividends treated as interest.
- New Zealand dividends received.
- Māori authority distributions.
- Estate and trust income.
- Partnership income.
- Look-through company income.
- Shareholder-employee salary.
- Non-resident interest received.
- Non-resident dividends received.
- Royalties.
If you enter any non-business expenses, these will also display on your overview.
Breakdown of your income
To get a breakdown of each income source, select 'View breakdown'. This shows a breakdown of gross amount, deductions, and totals per payer for each period reported in the source return - for example, each pay period. There is also an additional table that sums up the figures for each income source in case you have more than 1.
Each payer will have a 'Source total' row so you can see the split of income totals. There will also be a table that combines all of the income and deductions for salary, wages, benefits and taxable pensions. This way, you can see the:
- total gross income
- PAYE deducted
- ACC earners' levy deducted
- tax deducted
- student loan amounts deducted
- earnings not liable for ACC.
Select 'More detail >' on any of the rows in the breakdown to get detailed information about that income source for that period. For example, when you select 'More detail >' on an employer's income row, the pay details, including the tax code used, will display.
