IRD GST is a separate track from the Companies Office. Register once taxable supplies reach the current threshold, or earlier if you choose. Returns follow the taxable period IRD assigns — usually two-monthly.
GST work we coordinate
Registration timing
Mandatory registration when taxable supplies reach the live IRD threshold, or voluntary registration earlier if it helps input recovery or customer contracts.
Taxable period
Usually two-monthly; some businesses are monthly or six-monthly. Payment dates sit beside the return.
Invoice evidence
Tax invoices, import documents, and adjustments need to live with the monthly books — not in a year-end scramble.
Cross-border supplies
India–NZ services, zero-rating, and imported services need a facts check before the first invoice, not after a customer asks for a GST number.
