NZBN (New Zealand Business Number)

Updated 2026-06

An NZBN is the unique New Zealand Business Number that identifies one business, so you can be sure you are dealing with the right entity even when names are similar.

Every registered New Zealand company has an NZBN, and sole traders and partnerships can register for one. It is separate from a GST number, which relates to tax.
