You'll still need to send us an IR67P even if you haven't made any deductions.

Fill in the NRWT payment slip - IR67P and return it to us
You need to return your IR67P by the due date. Not returning your IR67P may mean a penalty charge and interest.
You can upload your IR67P and make a direct debit payment in myIR.
We send you the IR67P towards the end of each payment period. You set the payment period when you register as a payer.
