Can Lodg do my overdue taxes and how?

What Are Overdue Taxes?

Overdue taxes are tax returns that were due to be filed with Inland Revenue (IRD) in previous periods but haven’t been submitted yet.

These may include:

  • Income Tax returns

  • GST returns

  • One or multiple outstanding tax periods

Leaving tax returns overdue may result in penalties or interest from IRD, so it’s best to address them as soon as possible.


How to Register Your Overdue Taxes on Lodg

  1. Log in to your Lodg account

  2. From the left-hand menu, select Tax Returns

  3. Click Continue to request an overdue return with a fixed price of $99/return

  4. Select a return type between GST and tax return, then:

    • GST return: choose how often you want Lodg to file your GST (monthly/two-monthly/six-monthly) >> choose the GST period

    • Income tax return (IR3): select a financial year

  5. Click Continue

  6. Add data for your return request. Here you can: link bank feed, connect Xero or upload files

  7. Select Review & Pay

    • Review the service details

    • Confirm that your information is accurate

This allows our accounting team to prepare and lodge your overdue tax return(s).


What Happens After You Submit?

Once your overdue tax return is registered:

  • Your request will appear in the Tax Returns dashboard

  • Our accounting team will review the information you’ve provided

  • We may contact you if additional documents or clarification are needed

  • After everything is confirmed, we’ll prepare and file your overdue return(s) with IRD

You can track the progress directly in the Tax Returns tab.


Fees and Payment

Lodg does not charge automatically when you submit an overdue tax return.

After reviewing your request, our accounting team will determine the fee based on:

  • The type of tax (Income Tax or GST)

  • The number of overdue periods

You’ll then receive a quote/invoice via Lodg. Work will begin only after payment is completed.

** Please note:

  • Fees are separate from any IRD penalties or interest

  • Lodg will always confirm the cost with you before proceeding

** Important Notes:

  • Overdue tax returns may attract penalties or interest from IRD

  • Filing sooner can help reduce additional charges

Lodg will always keep you informed before submitting anything on your behalf
