Transfers to New Zealand government departments

OrbitRemit allows you to make payments towards tax debt, outstanding student loans, fines, and child support in New Zealand — free of charge.

OrbitRemit does not have access to your government account information and cannot confirm repayment amounts, repayment periods, or any other personal details. Please contact the relevant government department directly if you need this information.

Inland Revenue Department (IRD)

To make a payment to the IRD, you will need your IRD number. When creating an IRD recipient, our system will automatically validate that your IRD number is correct.

For help setting up your IRD payment, see: What do I need to make a payment to the IRD?

If you need to confirm your tax type, tax number, or the tax year for your repayment, contact the IRD directly. Have your IRD or NZBN number ready before calling.

Ministry of Justice (MOJ)

To make payments towards outstanding fines in New Zealand, you will need your PPN number when creating a MOJ recipient.

Your PPN number must be entered in the following format: P followed by 10 digits — for example, P1234567890.

If you don't have your PPN number or are unsure of your outstanding fine balance, contact the Ministry of Justice directly.

Ministry of Social Development (MSD)

To make payments to MSD, you will need your SWN (Social Welfare Number), also known as your client number, when creating an MSD recipient.

Your SWN is a 9-digit number. You can find it on any letter issued by MSD, or on your Community Services Card if you have one.

If you need to confirm your SWN or your required payment scheme, contact MSD directly.
