Other Compliance Services

Businesses have other significant ongoing compliance obligations. We are able to assist in these areas to the extent that each client finds appropriate. Some of our more common services include:

GST

For many clients, we take care of or assist with the preparation and filing of GST returns. We also often look after the assessment and management aspect of the tax for them. Although on the surface GST appears relatively simple, ensuring the correct treatment is often complicated (ie entertainment expenses, mixed use assets, property sales and purchases, time of supply) and mistakes can be expensive given the tax’s penalty regime.

PAYE and KiwiSaver

PAYE, KiwiSaver and payroll management is another area which may appear simple, but can become quite complex, especially if managed incorrectly. Whether it’s preparation of monthly PAYE schedules or a one-off question regarding holiday pay, we assist many clients to make sure they are getting things right regarding payroll, PAYE and KiwiSaver.

Fringe Benefit Tax

FBT can become very complicated, particularly regarding the treatment of motor vehicles. We often advise clients on FBT implications when purchasing motor vehicles for their business. It is vital to put measures in place to ensure company vehicles comply with FBT rules on an ongoing basis. We can also assist with preparation and filing of FBT returns.

ACC Levies

We can liaise with ACC on your behalf regarding invoices and assessments, changes in expected earnings and industry classifications to ensure your levies are managed efficiently.
