Tēnā koe Ms Murtagh

Thank you for your email. Inland Revenue's response to your questions is as follows:

a) Inland Revenue received your OIA request on 9 July 2023. However, due to an internal sorting error, your email was not allocated to the correct queue and this resulted in your email remaining unactioned. The sorting error was an inadvertent human mistake (not an automated error). On 8 August 2023, upon the receipt of your follow up email, Inland Revenue began the search to locate your original email. On 9 August, Inland Revenue located your letter and transferred it to the correct queue for processing. Once correctly allocated, the Governance, Ministerial & Executive Services team conducted the necessary research and internal consultation to ensure a response could be provided to you without further undue delay (6 working days).

b) As noted in my response of 24OIA1166, dated August 2023, the subscription service (the service) implemented as part of the Version 12 update to myIR is working as intended and no technical issue with the service exists. The service means tax agents will only receive notifications for customer accounts they have subscribed to. In order to receive notifications regarding customer accounts and manage mail subscriptions, I recommend you refer to our guide on our website: http://www.ird.govt.nz/roles/tax-agents/....
