Support available from the Inland Revenue, plus read on to find local industry support.
If you have been affected by the extreme weather, IR still want you to let them know but to let them know when you reasonably can. There are ways they can help, including removing penalties and interest, getting you set up to pay in instalments, and helping if you are in financial hardship.
Contacting IR
IR is prioritising contacts from those affected by the floods and cyclone. If you need to talk to them:
- Send IR a message in myIR using the word ‘flood’ in the subject line: myIR login
- Call its dedicated phoneline: 0800 473 566
- Go to one of their front of house offices: IR customer sites
You can also let us know if you are in difficulty so we can help advise the correct departments.

Industry and Local Support
Some industry bodies have emergency support information available on their websites.
If you belong to an industry group, let them know what is happening in your business, so they are better prepared to help you.
