Do you have a clear understanding of Tax Pooling and FBT and what it means for your business?
With provisional tax and FBT dates looming, it’s crucial you understand your business position and what can be done to limit your exposure.
Tax Pooling
If you are a provisional taxpayer then you need to know about the advantages of tax pooling and how it can benefit your business!
We commonly see the IRD:
• Give a low credit rate of interest for overpayments and
• Charge high debit rates of interest for underpayments during the year
Established by the IRD in 2003 to lessen the burden of these issues for provisional taxpayers, tax pooling can help reduce the costs by allowing taxpayers to trade their payments with each other and everyone wins.
Tax Management NZ is is the first provider of tax pooling offering options that will allow you greater flexibility and interest savings in your management of Provisional Tax.
