Get prepared for improved myIR GST services coming in 2017

In early 2017 we’re introducing improved services for managing GST through your myIR accounts so you’ll be able to do more online. This is the first of many changes we’ll be making over the next few years to make tax simpler for our customers.

In the meantime take action to get prepared.

What you need to do

Our records show you have provided others access to your myIR accounts to manage your GST. To ensure your Administrators can continue to access and manage your GST when the improved services go live in early 2017, you must review and confirm the level of access you want them to have by 1 February 2017.

Here’s what to do:

1. Log into each of your myIR accounts
2. Click on ‘Manage 2017 GST account access’ under ‘Things to do’.
3. Select each Administrator and User, review their current access levels and decide:

• What access type you want them to have for GST – Administrator, User or No Access
• What access level you want them to have to GST, if any: View, File, File and Pay, Pay

What happens if I do nothing?

If you don’t do anything by 1 February 2017, your Administrators and Users will not have access to the improved GST services when they become available in early 2017. However, at that time you will be able to set the level of access you wish them to have, to ensure you continue to file and pay your GST on time.

We’ll let you know again in early 2017 to when the improved services will be available.

Visit the IRD website for more information about the new access levels.
