什么是税号?
税号是国家税务局提供的一个独一无二的号码。这个号码在10-000-000到999-999-999之间，因此有些人的是8位数字而有些人的是9位。税号是不会改变的，即使你搬到国外再回到新西兰。旧的号码不会被再发配，这样保证了每个个人或公司的税号是独一无二的。
税号应该提供给哪些人？
你应该只提供给：
- 国家税务局
- 你的雇主
- 你的银行或金融机构
- 你的KiwiSaver
- Work and Income
- Studylink
- 你的税务代理(会计师)
如果其他机构要求你提供税号，询问为什么他们有这个需要。如果你不确定你是否应该提供，你可以致电Inland Revenue咨询。
请将你的税号保密，当你向Inland Revenue咨询的时候请确认持有你的税号。
What is an IRD number?
An IRD number is a unique number issued to you by Inland Revenue. Your number will be in the range of 10-000-000 to 999-999-999, so some people will have an 8 digit number and others a 9 digit number. Your number will never change, even if you move to another country and then return to New Zealand some time in the future. We do not reallocate old numbers or issue every number in the range. This ensures the uniqueness of every individual or organization’s number.
Who should I give my IRD number to?
You should only provide it to:
- Inland Revenue
- your employer
- your bank or financial institution
- your KiwiSaver scheme provider
- Work and Income
- StudyLink
- your tax agent (accountant).
If other groups ask for your IRD number, ask them why they need it. If you are not sure that you should give them your number, call Inland Revenue for advice.
Keep your number confidential and have it handy when you contact Inland Revenue.
