Tax and registration in New Zealand
GST in New Zealand is administered by Inland Revenue (IRD), and it is worth confirming your current obligations there rather than relying on a figure stored in any software — rates and registration thresholds change.
If you are registered, show GST as a separate line on every waybill and include your IRD number. If you are not registered, do not add GST — collecting tax you cannot remit is a compliance problem rather than a formatting choice.
Businesses trading in New Zealand are normally incorporated or registered through the New Zealand Companies Office. Quoting your registration number alongside your IRD number tends to speed up approval with corporate and government customers, who often will not process a waybill without both.
