Planned system outage - 12 September 2026 | Our online services including myIR, self service phone lines and gateway services will be unavailable on Saturday 12 September, 2026 from 1pm to approximately 10.30pm while we complete a planned system update. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

It’s important to provide the right address when applying for an IRD number.

When applying for a non-individual's IRD number either online or using the IR596, you need to provide the street address of the place of business (question 5 on the IR596). This should be the physical location of the business, not the director’s residential address or the tax agent’s or any other intermediary’s street address.

When providing the postal address (question 6 on the IR596), this should be the postal address for the business and not the address of the tax agent or any other intermediary.

This allows us to correctly update the applicant’s address details into our system.
