What is an IRD number and do I have to have it?

You need an IRD number for any tax-related obligations you have or entitlements you get. You keep the same IRD number for life so, even if you lose it, you do not need to apply for a new one.

If you have not given your IRD number to your employer, tax will be deducted at a rate of 45% from the interest paid to you.
