Te whakamutu i te tūnga takawaenga Ending an intermediary status

Ending voluntarily

If you want to be removed as a registered intermediary, you will need to contact us. We will ask for:

• your name and IRD number
• the date you want to stop being an intermediary from
• the reason why you want to be removed.

Losing your intermediary status

There are some situations that might result in us removing your status as a registered intermediary. This could happen if:

• you or a key office holder no longer meet the requirements to be a registered intermediary
• you have less than 10 clients
• you are a tax agent that fails to meet our agreed filing requirements.

We will try to resolve any issues that affect your ability to be an intermediary. A formal review and assessment may take place when an issue is found.

What will happen

Once your intermediary status has been removed, we will:

• let all of your clients know that you are no longer a registered intermediary
• remove all intermediary links between you and your clients
• remove any access you had to your clients accounts.

If you were a registered tax agent, we will also:

• remove your clients' extension of time on current and future periods
• remove the disbursement account link to your customers, where present.
