This order, which comes into force on 12 June 2025, amends the lists of primary business data in Schedule 4 of the New Zealand Business Number Act 2016. The primary business data listed in that schedule consists of information that an entity may choose to have included about it on the New Zealand Business Number Register (the register). An entity may also choose to have that information made publicly available.

There are 2 amendments. The first allows an entity to choose to have its payment bank account name included on the register. It may already choose to have the number of that bank account included.

The second amendment relates to whether the entity is a Māori entity. Currently, an entity may choose to have that information included on the register with the factors that indicate that it is a Māori entity. The amendment no longer requires those factors to be included and instead defines what Māori entity means for the purposes of the register.
