78D: Evidential requirements for tax credits

You could also call this:

"Proving you are eligible for tax credits"

Illustration for Tax Administration Act 1994

You need to give the Commissioner evidence of your tax credits. This is if you have not given your investment income payer your tax file number. You get these credits under section LB 3 or subparts LE or LO of the Income Tax Act 2007. You must provide sufficient evidence of the credit. This includes a shareholder dividend statement for an imputation credit. You also need an RWT withholding certificate for a credit for RWT. You need a Maori authority distribution statement for a Maori authority credit. The Commissioner may require other information from you.
