Share payment date 31 March
When the share payment date is the 31/03/2017 but the funds are not deposited in to my bank account (ANZ Securities), in this case will probable be Monday 03/04/2017, which is after this tax year ending 31/03/2017. Are these dividends included in the tax return, ending 31/03/2017 or are they to be included in this years tax period ending 31/03/2018.

If the share payment date on your dividend statement is 31/3/17 or before, then you would include them in the tax year ending 31/3/17.

Be careful of asking for advice on this forum, especially about tax imo, some might be tempted to offer advice even though they have absolutely no qualifications to do so, which is actually illegal. You might want to ask a tax accountant if you are not sure.

He asked a basic question which requires a simply answer, it's black and white, if your payment date is on or before 31st March then dividend income is included in that years income, not the following years, nothing illegal about answering that question

Just as 777 and I thought, there's no need to complicate things unecessarily, not sure why some do.(Not talking about you waikare)

Received my reply from IRD that I sent in on the 3rd April, to quote: "The date on the certificate/statement will the be date you can use, as if we requested the evidence this is what we would use.''

Just as I said in post number 2 above.

Tax is never simply black and white
If you do your accounts on an accrual basis then it appears in the year when it becomes a receivable [year to 31-Mar-17].
However if you do your accounts on a cash basis it appears in the year it is received [year to 31-Mar-18].
couta1 is making an assumption which may be valid but, I assume, probably is not.
waikare is possibly confused now.
