Moving away from cheques

From 1 March 2020 Inland Revenue will stop accepting payment by cheque, including cheques dated after 1 March 2020.

This will affect your tax payments for Terminal Tax 2019 (due on 7 April 2020), all provisional tax payments from 7 May 2020 onwards, and any GST and PAYE payments from March onwards. Please make sure you use one of the accepted payment methods to avoid late payment penalties and interest.

You can find all accepted payment methods on IRD website.
