IR3 filing in New Zealand for sole traders

Returnly helps New Zealand sole traders prepare an IR3 return with a guided workflow that covers records, deductible expenses, review, and final preparation.

Organise income and records

Before filing an IR3 in New Zealand, sole traders usually need to gather income records, bank statements, invoices, receipts, and other business documents.

Review deductible expenses carefully

A good IR3 workflow is not only about entering income. It also means checking which business expenses are relevant and making sure everything is reviewed before filing.

Prepare for manual submission to IRD

Returnly helps organise and prepare your information, but you stay responsible for reviewing the final result and completing submission to Inland Revenue.

A practical option for straightforward returns

If your sole trader tax situation is relatively straightforward, Returnly is designed to make IR3 preparation clearer and more affordable than handing a simple return off by default.
