Deadline For Tax Payments Looms

Inland Revenue has recently issued 252,146 reminder letters to individuals and companies with end-of-year tax payments to be made by 7 February. However, those taxpayers represented by a tax agent with an extension of time for payment have until 7 April.

National Manager, Bryre Patchell said the 7 February due date covered those with end of year income tax, ACC levy, family assistance overpayment, or student loan payments due.

"Some $212,466,912 million in tax payments is due by 7 February.

Anyone who thinks they may have trouble paying by 7 February should get in contact with Inland Revenue now, Mr Patchell said. We'll do all we can to help work out a solution."
