Question 1

Can I fill in the IR330 form electronically online?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can fill in the IR330 form electronically online. The IR330 form is a tax code declaration form used in New Zealand to declare a person's tax code to their employer.

The form can be accessed and completed online through the Inland Revenue website or through other providers who embed it in their application for employment such as PICMI. To fill in the form electronically, you will need to have an online account and log in to your account. From there, you follow prompts to complete and submit information and answers electronically.

Alternatively, you can download a printable version of the IR330 form from the Inland Revenue website and fill it out manually. Once completed, you can then submit the form to your employer. However, submitting the form electronically can be more efficient and convenient, and may result in faster processing times.

Question 2

Can IR330 forms be paperless?

Accepted Answer

Yes, IR330 forms can be submitted electronically through the PICMI system.

The PICMI service allows employers to submit their IR330 details and other payroll information electronically to the employer and payroll systems in a paperless format. This service is available to businesses that use PICMI.

Submitting IR330 form tax status information electronically through the PICMI service can help to streamline the payroll process, reduce errors, and save time and money by eliminating the need for paper forms and manual data entry. It can also provide a more efficient and secure way of submitting payroll information to the IRD.

Question 3

Do I always need to have a paper copy of the IR330 form?

Accepted Answer

No, you do not always need to have a paper copy of the IR330 form. The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) accepts both paper and electronic versions of the IR330 form.

If you fill out the IR330 form electronically, you don’t save a copy of the form itself. Instead the data is securely retained by employers and allows for later updates.

Question 4

Do I really need to complete an IR330 form?

Accepted Answer

If you work in New Zealand, you are required to complete an IR330 form if you are a new employee, or if you change jobs or tax codes. The IR330 form is used to provide your employer with your tax code and other personal details, which they use to calculate the correct amount of tax to deduct from your pay.

If you don't complete the IR330 form, your employer may not know what your tax code is, which could result in the wrong amount of tax being deducted from your pay. This could lead to issues such as underpayment or overpayment of tax, which may need to be corrected at a later date.

Completing the IR330 form is therefore important to ensure that your tax is calculated correctly and that you are not under or overpaying tax. It's also a legal requirement under New Zealand tax law, and failure to provide accurate and up-to-date information could result in penalties or fines.

If you have any questions or concerns about completing the IR330 form, you may wish to consult with a tax professional or contact the Inland Revenue Department for guidance.

Question 5

Can I avoid downloading and printing IR330 forms?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can avoid downloading and printing IR330 forms by completing the information required electronically through PICMI. It meets all the requirements to store information exclusively electronically without the need to store a paper copy. Information is then sent digitally to payroll systems who process your pay run.
