Longer IRD Numbers

(Posted 5-Mar-2008)

Inland Revenue customers applying for a new IRD number this year may find that it has an extra digit.

The first nine-digit IRD number is expected to be issued in May. All current eight-digit numbers remain unchanged. Colin MacDonald, Deputy Commissioner Business Development and Systems, said the extended number range is needed to cater for growth.
