About this Form

Use this form to apply for a special tax code so that tax is deducted at a rate that suits your individual circumstances. You can also use this form to pay your student loan off faster by selecting a special repayment deduction rate. A special tax code can only be applied to income that has PAYE deducted but cannot be applied to an income tested benefit.

When to use this form

A special tax code is useful if your situation is out of the ordinary, such as if you:

• have a second job or other income over and above your main job
• are a beneficiary or receiving ACC and working
• receive an overseas pension that is taxable in New Zealand
• have business losses from a previous year to carry forward but you’re earning a salary or wage now
• have a student loan and you want to pay it off faster

What you will need

• information about your income
• your New Zealand Superannuation or Veteran’s Pension number (if applicable)
