GST registrations for non-active companies

We’re no longer going to automatically reject GST registrations for non-active companies.

Instead, we'll send a web message asking that you click ‘reply’ and attach a copy of the IR434 – Non-active company reactivation form. There's a link to this form in the web message. You'll have 20 working days to respond to this web message.

When we get the IR434 we'll complete the company reactivation and the GST registration at the same time.

When we get a request for back-dated GST registration, we'll also send a web message asking for evidence to prove that there has been business activity.
