Do I pay GST?

GST is required on fees paid by NZ residents or NZ based companies. Where one of a number of applicants is a New Zealand resident or a New Zealand based company, GST is required.

Overseas residents or companies based overseas are not required to pay GST on fees.

If you are required to pay GST and you do not do so, IPONZ cannot process your application until the required payment has been received. Your application date will then become the date on which your fee was paid in full.

 

Methods of Payment

The preferred methods of payment for all Office fees are direct debit or credit card.

For more information about setting up a direct debit account with our Ministry please see Get a User ID.
