| 817657 | 2009-10-06 22:08:00 | Started a new job and gave my employer my wrong IRD number. They got a ring from IRD and said it was wrong and said if not corrected by next pay day I would be taxed at 49% I think. My employer gave them my name but they said I had to give them my correct IRD number. Why couldn't the IRD look up my records for the correct number. All that was wrong I had put in a 0 instead of a 7. The person also said it should be a 9 figure number which it is not. It is a 8 figure number. Incompetent staff at IRD. :) |

| 817658 | 2009-10-06 22:31:00 | we have had 20 years of strife with the IRD, they are the most incompetent and criminal organization in NZ, They should be held personally responsible for the grief they cause. Burn em all. Not a single time out off all the crap we have had with them have they been able to prove or justify what they were trying to do. On the plus side its cost thousands to show them the error of their ways, and every six months they forget and start the **** over again. |

| 817659 | 2009-10-06 22:39:00 | For people with 8 digit IRD numbers, you just have to put a 0 in front of it if someone kicks up a fuss about it. I have an 8 digit IRD number and usually just leave it out the first zero, unless the form explicitly says to put it in. They won't be able to look you up to find your IRD number since it's quite possible that there are several people in the country with the same name as you. Even if they could, they won't do it due to identity theft concerns. Edit: As an interesting side note, IRD numbers aren't just a random sequence of digits - built into the number is a checksum which means that you can use a mathematical algorithm to check if an IRD number is valid or not. |

| 817661 | 2009-10-06 22:59:00 | I think the problem now is the IRS is understaffed and slow to react but it works both ways. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 817662 | 2009-10-06 23:27:00 | we have had 20 years of strife with the IRD. Contact your MP or the one in charge of IRD. I did this a while ago when they had stuffed up for the 3rd time. Got a phone call from the MP both before and after he contacted IRD. Then got a call from IRD grovelling. Stopped the hassles so far............ |

| 817663 | 2009-10-07 00:37:00 | ACC have a similar issue. They are generally a pack of twats, in my experience, especially if you are self-employed. | johcar (6283) | ||
| 817664 | 2009-10-07 04:34:00 | Get over yourself. You made the mistake. You have to make the tax code declaration to your employer. Just do it. | wotz (335) | ||
| 817665 | 2009-10-07 07:13:00 | Trev, if it helps I'm sure when you file your tax return you'll get the difference back. Tax returns calculate the correct tax for the year based on your income, and this will be less than what you have paid due to this error (among other possible factors also). | george12 (7) | ||
| 817666 | 2009-10-07 08:40:00 | It has been sorted even before I even made this thread, so there is nothing to get over. Took me less than 5 mins to fix. :) |
