Income Tax Returns (IR3 Filing)

Income Tax Returns
(IR3 Filing)

If you earn income outside of salary, wages, or investment returns, Inland Revenue requires you to file an IR3 tax return. This confirms your total personal income and ensures the correct amount of tax is paid. We handle IR3 returns for self-employed Kiwis, contractors, and property investors — making sure your income and deductions are accurate, complete, and filed on time. If you’re linked with a registered tax agent like MyAccountant (part of My Refund Ltd), you may qualify for an Extension of Time, giving you until 31 March of the following year to file, instead of the standard 7 July deadline. Filing too early can sometimes mean your taxable income data isn’t finalised, which can lead to amendments — so we make sure your return is filed at the right time with the right information.

Expense Claims Support

Claiming legitimate expenses reduces your taxable income, helping you pay only what you need to. It’s important to claim correctly — and keep copies of receipts or tax invoices to support each claim. Depending on your situation, you may be able to claim:

  • Rent for business premises or a home office
  • Legal, accounting, and tax agent fees
  • Depreciation on assets (e.g. computers, tools, or office furniture)
  • Interest on business loans
  • Vehicle use and business travel
  • Work-related mobile phone, internet, or insurance costs
  • Stationery, office supplies, and marketing expenses
  • Interest charged by IRD for late payment of tax

At MyAccountant, we’ll guide you through what’s claimable and what’s not, ensuring you get every deduction you’re entitled to while keeping your records IRD compliant.

Rental Property Tax Returns

If you earn income from a rental property, you’ll need to include it in your IR3 tax return each year. At MyAccountant, we prepare your rental return as part of your full IR3 filing, ensuring everything is complete, compliant, and maximising your deductions.
We’ll record all income, track your property expenses, and help you claim every eligible cost — from rates and insurance to loan interest, maintenance, and property management fees. We also handle depreciation and ensure your rental income is correctly reported under IRD rules. Whether it’s your first investment or part of a growing portfolio, we make sure your rental return and IR3 work together seamlessly, so you only pay what you need to — and keep more of what your property earns.
