Transforming GST
IRD are rolling out other changes to how New Zealanders file and manage their GST as part of ongoing business transformation. More than half NZ's businesses now file their GST through Inland Revenue's secure online service myIR, or direct from their accounting software. If this includes your business, you may have noticed there's a new myGST tab on your myIR account. This will provide access to all your GST information.
Taxpayers are now able to use this to register for GST, register as a preparer of tax returns, amend GST returns and accounts, file and pay GST at the same time, set up payment plans, and track GST payments and refunds online.
This is on top of the recent changes for some taxpayers who are now able to prepare and send GST returns to IRD from their accounting software.
If you would like to talk about how your GST is currently being managed and how the changes might work in practice for you, please contact us.

Faster GST returns
It is now compulsory for Inland Revenue to provide GST refunds by direct credit to a taxpayer's identified account, resulting in faster GST refunds. Obviously it's important that Inland Revenue has your correct banking details. If you would like us to confirm they have your current account details please let us know.
From here on, Inland Revenue will only make GST refunds by cheque if they do not have a customer's bank details or if there are extenuating circumstances, such as hardship.
Terminal Tax
With the 7th of April Terminal Tax payment date looming, the IRD have advised that they will be again contacting all taxpayers with payments due by reminder letters and/or text messages. Please be assured that we will be emailing/posting out your tax payment notices in due course. If you have any concerns please contact us.
