Expect delays receiving tax registration details

Inland Revenue (IR) are upgrading some of their services so if you register a new company between 3pm Thursday 21 October and 3pm Wednesday 27 October 2021, you won’t receive your tax details at the time of registration. They will be delayed and sent to you once the IR online services resume.

If you don't receive your tax details by the end of the day on Friday 29 October, you will need to contact IR directly.

COVID-19 Alert Levels

Important changes to our fax services

The Companies Office will be switching off its fax services on Friday 19 November 2021 at 11:59pm. After this time you’ll no longer be able to send us documents by fax.

This is due to a steady decline in the number of clients using this channel. You can still submit documents online, such as director and shareholder consents and authority documents.

If you need help submitting documents to us online, please see our help guides for more information.
