Accounting and tax services for individuals and businesses

From yearly tax returns to starting a business, dealing with IRD and international tax linked to Korea, all in one place.

01

Personal & company income tax

Whether you’re an individual with business, rental or investment income on top of wages, a sole trader or a company, we bring the year’s income together and file it with IRD, checking for expenses and deductions that are easy to miss.

  • Individual income tax returns (IR3), including business, rental, interest, dividend and overseas income
  • Business income for sole traders
  • Company income tax returns (IR4)
  • Provisional tax planning and payment dates
02

GST registration & returns

We first check whether your turnover and type of business mean you need to register, then choose a filing frequency that suits you and file every return on time.

  • Checking whether you need to register, and registering
  • Choosing a filing frequency (monthly, two-monthly or six-monthly)
  • Sorting sales and purchase records, working out GST to pay or refund, and filing returns
03

PAYE & payroll filing

From registering as an employer when you take on your first staff member to the filing needed every payday, we keep it on track.

  • Registering as an employer
  • Payday filing every time wages are paid
  • Guidance on PAYE, KiwiSaver and student loan deductions
04

Annual financial statements

At year end we bring the year’s transactions together into financial statements and explain, with the numbers, how the business is going.

  • Year-end accounts and annual financial statements
  • Bookkeeping and account reviews
  • Xero set-up and support (Xero Certified Advisor)
05

Business set-up & advice

How you structure a new business has a big effect on tax and liability. We work through it with you from the start, and keep helping with the questions that come up as the business runs.

  • Choosing a structure: sole trader, partnership or limited company
  • Company incorporation with the Companies Office, and annual returns
  • IRD number, GST and employer registrations to get started
  • Tax review before buying or selling a business
  • Ongoing accounting and tax advice
06

IRD audit support

If IRD starts an audit or review, or contacts you with questions, we check what they’re asking for and work with you from gathering records through to replying.

  • Support with IRD audits and reviews, and preparing records
  • Checking and replying to IRD letters and enquiries
  • Voluntary disclosures to correct mistakes or omissions in past returns
07

Korea–New Zealand international tax

If you have income or assets in Korea, or invest across both countries, working out what to declare where gets complicated. We sort it out for your situation.

  • Declaring Korean rental, interest, dividend and pension income in New Zealand
  • Overseas shares and funds, and the FIF (foreign investment fund) rules
  • Working out New Zealand tax residence when you move here or go back to Korea
  • Reducing double tax: the Korea–New Zealand tax treaty and foreign tax credits
