OrbitRemit does not charge a fee on transfers to the Inland Revenue Department in New Zealand.

OrbitRemit supports the following IRD tax types: Student Loan Scheme - Borrower (SLS), Child Support - Non Custodial Parent (NCP), Working for Families Tax Credit (FAM), Tax Under Arrangement (ARR), Goods and Service Tax (GST), Income Tax or Provisional Tax (ICP), Employer PAYE Deductions (DED), PAYE Tax Deduction (PAY), and KiwiSaver Member Account (KSS).

You need your IRD number and the tax type you want to pay. In most cases the tax type will be Student Loan Borrower (SLS). If you are making a student loan payment you will also need the tax year you want the payment credited toward. OrbitRemit cannot confirm your tax type or tax year — contact IRD directly if you are unsure (NZ: 0800 227 774 / Overseas: +64 4 978 0779).

OrbitRemit processes your transfer to the IRD on the same day payment is received. If sending from Australia (AUD) via standard bank transfer before your bank’s cut-off time, OrbitRemit should receive funds the following working day. Payments via PayID or OSKO during business hours typically reflect within an hour. Once OrbitRemit completes the transfer, IRD can take up to three working days to update your account. Note: payments made on weekends or past the Friday net banking cut-off are treated differently — consult your bank for cut-off times.
