IRD processing of Tax Traders transfers

Once funds are transferred from Tax Traders to IRD, they will then need to be confirmed by IRD.

The vast majority of funds are confirmed by IRD within 1 week of being transferred to IRD.

The standard SLA for funds processing through to IRD is 15 working days. This can vary depending on the type of transaction and time of year.

Find expected completion date

If you want to know when to expect that a sum of tax transferred from Tax Traders to IRD will arrive, follow the process below.

  • Select the taxpayer who has the tax transfers you want to look up.
  • Under the "Transactions in Progress" table, find and click on the transaction which is showing as "IRD processing".
  • This will then display the status details of the transaction order. This includes the date when we sent the tax to Inland Revenue and the date the transfer is expected to be completed by Inland Revenue.
We are working closely with Inland Revenue to ensure that the transfers occur by the expected completion date. However, in cases of delay, we do follow up with them directly on behalf of our clients and the taxpayers they represent.
