1. What type of income is this?

Use this page if you are checking an IR330 code for salary, wages, ACC payments, paid parental leave, a main benefit, NZ Super, student allowance, or a common special tax code.

Before You File

Use this as a guide, not the final word

  • If the result looks wrong, or your situation is unclear, check the official guidance from IRD, MSD, Work and Income, or your employer.
  • If you have more than one job or payment, you may need a separate declaration for each income source.

What You Can Check

This page is most useful if you are working out a code for

  • salary, wages, ACC payments, paid parental leave, student allowance, main benefits, NZ Super, and the common special tax codes in the IR330 flow.
  • If you are being paid as a contractor or by schedular payments, this page sends you to IR330C instead of working out a contractor rate.
  • If your situation is unusual, involves changing residency, tailored rates, or uncertain annual income estimates, check with IRD before you file.

Check Again If

Slow down if any of these apply to you

  • NZ Super, Student Allowance, Veteran's Pension, and other government payments may involve specific payer instructions outside a normal employer workflow.
  • If you already hold a tailored tax code certificate, follow the certificate exactly and provide it with your declaration.
  • If you are unsure whether this is your main income, whether you are a New Zealand tax resident, or which annual PAYE band applies, stop and confirm before filing.
