What to do at the end of the tax year (31 March)
The income tax year runs from 1 April to 31 March. Most people who earn salary or wages pay the correct amount of tax and don't need to do anything at the end of the tax year. However, if you earn income that has no tax deducted, or if you paid too much or not enough tax during the year, you'll need to file a return (IR3) or get a personal tax summary (PTS).
