Automatically issued income tax assessments processing timeline
1 April to late-May – Gathering information
We’ll be gathering income and tax information from your employer (or income provider), bank and investment providers.
Late-May to end of July - Income tax assessments and requests for more information sent
We send these between late-May and the end of July, so not everyone will get theirs at the same time.
After the end of July
You may receive yours after July if you are required to provide more information, or we’re waiting for other information from your employer (or income provider) before we can finalise your income tax assessment.
Individual income tax return - IR3 filing timeline
Late-March to early-April – Returns available to file
If you have a myIR account and are required to file an IR3 return, you will receive an email or text message in early April letting you know your return is available to file in myIR. If you don't have a myIR account you will be sent a paper return in late March or early April.
Early-April to 7 July
You’ll need to send us your completed IR3 return by 7 July unless you have a tax agent or an extension of time.
