Initiative by New Zealand Inland Revenue to involve young people



The New Zealand Inland Revenue Department has recently developed and launched a website tailored to meet the needs of young people in the 15-19 year age group who are about to start work.  The site ( www.whatstax.govt.nz ) provides young people with information about the tax system and explains how they can apply for an IR number and establish a tax code with their employer. The site also contains other information and links to the main IR site so that as their needs become more sophisticated, they will start to use the main site.
