IRD Changes - Cheque Payments

From the 1st March 2020 the IRD will no longer accept payment by cheque, or cheques dated after 1 March 2020, from customers who are able to pay another way. Fewer and fewer customers are paying by cheque every year.

Other payment options include:

• myIR: direct debit and card payments can be made from the myIR website.

• Online banking: one off or scheduled recurring payments can be made using online banking.

• Money transfer: if you’re based overseas, you can pay using a money transfer service. Click here for more information.

• Credit or debit card via the IRD website: payments can be made by credit or debit card through the IRD’s secure payment website. Click here to use this payment method.

• Westpac: EFTPOS or cash payments can be made at any Westpac branch or Smart ATM. You do not need to be a Westpac customer to make a payment at any branch.
