Cancelling your Lodg subscription and unlinking from IRD
Sorry to see you go. Cancelling has two parts: stopping your Lodg subscription, and removing Lodg as your tax agent at IRD. Both are needed if you want a clean exit.
Step 1: Cancel your subscription
You can cancel inside the Lodg app:
-
Log in to Lodg.
-
Go to Account settings → Subscription.
-
Click Cancel subscription and confirm.
If the in-app cancel doesn't work for any reason, just email accounts@lodg.co.nz with the subject "Cancel my subscription" and we'll do it manually within 1 business day.
Step 2: Unlink Lodg from your IRD account
This is the part most people forget. While Lodg is your linked tax agent, we still appear on your IRD record. To remove us:
-
Log in to myIR.
-
Go to I want to → Manage my tax agent.
-
Find Lodg in your linked agents list and click Remove.
-
Confirm.
Alternatively, you can call IRD on 0800 377 774 and ask them to unlink Lodg as your tax agent.
What happens to my data?
-
Your historical returns and records stay in your Lodg account in case you want to come back.
-
If you want your data permanently deleted, email us and we'll remove everything within 30 days.
-
Any unfiled returns we were in the middle of will be paused — let us know if you want them finished before you leave.
Refunds
If you paid annually, contact us at accounts@lodg.co.nz to discuss a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of your subscription.
