Overdue Employer and GST Debt: Inland Revenue’s New Collection Focus
Posted on 17 Oct 2025
What’s Happening
IRD will contact businesses in three steps:
- Direct Contact – to resolve outstanding returns or arrange payment/instalments.
- Follow-Up Call – a message is left if there’s no response.
- Final Attempt – one last contact; no further messages are left.
If unresolved, IRD may:
- Send Community Compliance teams to local areas.
- Deduct amounts directly from your bank account.
