3 Extension of time from 28 October 2021 until 4 November 2021 for doing things under Acts

Explanatory note

This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This order, which comes into force on 21 October 2021, extends from 28 October 2021 to 4 November 2021 the due dates for the filing of tax returns and the payment of tax (including provisional tax and goods and services tax) that are due on that date. For example, 28 October is the original due date for the filing and payment of GST returns for the period ending with 30 September 2021.

The order is being made because certain things may not be able to be done on or by 28 October due to a proposed computer shut-down to facilitate another release of Inland Revenue’s START system.

See section 226(2) of the Tax Administration Act 1994 (which will have the effect that anything done on or by 4 November 2021 is as valid as if it had been done on or by 28 October 2021).

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.

Date of notification in Gazette: 20 October 2021.

This order is administered by the Inland Revenue Department.
