By choosing to register for myIR, you’re agreeing to receive electronic communications from us once your registration has been activated. This article talks about IRD Gov’t.
This means we’ll no longer send you paper statements, notices and some types of correspondence. Some electronic communications will be emailed to you directly. For example, you may receive emails:
- with your myIR user ID/web logon, temporary password or link to reset your password (when you request these)
- about products and services
- about legislative changes or
- containing information about your tax or social policy affairs.
We may also send you electronic messages, for example:
- to let you know when statements, notices and other correspondence are available in your myIR account
- reminders to file returns and make payments.
IRD Gov’t
You take responsibility to ensure that access to your email address is secure and appropriate.
We intend to replace most paper correspondence with electronic communications over time.
You must keep your myIR contact details up to date. We take all reasonable steps to make sure emails and text messages have the highest chance of successful delivery.
We cannot be held responsible for the non-delivery of emails or text messages due to circumstances outside of our control. This could be when we have incorrect or out of date contact details.
We use this information to improve our customer services, resolve customer issues and assist in identifying possible non-compliance or fraud.
Having a myIR account does not remove the need for you to comply with your obligations under tax or other laws.
Nothing in an email designates an information system for the purposes of section 214(a) of the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017, unless expressly stated otherwise.
