What is Glenview Accountants?

Reliable accounting and financial services for businesses and individuals in Hamilton, New Zealand.

When are tax returns due in New Zealand?

Individual tax returns are generally due by 7 July for the previous tax year (ending 31 March). However, if you use a tax agent like us, you automatically get an extension to 31 March of the following year. Company and trust returns also follow similar timelines.

What deductions can I claim for my business?

You can claim any expense that is incurred in earning your business income. This includes office expenses, vehicle costs, home office (if applicable), professional fees, insurance, depreciation, and more. We help identify all legitimate deductions to minimize your tax.

How can you help if I owe money to IRD?

We can negotiate payment arrangements with IRD on your behalf, help you understand your debt, work to reduce penalties, and set up systems to prevent future tax debt. We handle all correspondence with IRD so you don't have to.

Do I need to register for GST?

You must register for GST if your annual turnover is over $60,000. However, you can voluntarily register even if you're under this threshold. We can advise whether GST registration makes sense for your business.

What happens if I'm audited by IRD?

If IRD audits you, we provide full support throughout the process. We handle all IRD correspondence, prepare required documentation, and represent you in discussions. Our goal is to resolve the audit efficiently and favorably.

Can you help with tax planning, not just tax returns?

Absolutely! Proactive tax planning is a key part of our service. We help you structure your affairs efficiently, time income and expenses strategically, and make informed decisions throughout the year to minimize tax legally.
