Have a donation tax credit to claim?

Great news! You don't need to wait until the end of tax year on 31 March. You can claim your donation tax credit any time throughout the year.

Better yet, you can submit your claim online through myIR by uploading a photo of your paper or electronic receipt.

So, avoid the end of the tax year rush and do it when you receive your receipt.

To get started go to: ird.govt.nz/income-tax/income-tax-for-individuals/individual-tax-credits/tax-credits-for-donations/submit-a-donation-receipt

This Cyber Smart Week (21 - 27 October), we're supporting Own Your Online to highlight the importance of staying secure online.

Did you know 32% of New Zealanders do not use two-factor authentication for their main online accounts?

2FA (two-factor authentication) is an additional layer of security that helps to protect your online accounts. You can use it to authenticate who you are every time you log in. That way, even if an attacker gets your login details, they still won’t get in.

If you do not have 2FA set up, you could start with your email and social media accounts. You can also head to our website to find out how to set up 2FA for your myIR account - https://www.ird.govt.nz/two-step-verification

Did you know that 43% of New Zealanders use the same passwords for their online accounts? Together with CERT NZ we are encouraging everyone to review their passwords and ensure they create long, strong and unique passwords.

It is a good idea to use a different password for each account and avoid using personal information (like your date of birth) in your password. Passphrases (random phrases of four or more words, for example coffeecountsasameal or daffodilsbloominspringtime) make for the best passwords. They’re easy to remember but hard for attackers to crack. If you haven't updated your myIR password recently, why not update it with a unique, easy to remember passphrase.
