Business tax information officers

Our Business tax information officers offer free tax education and advice to new businesses and small organisations. They work from most Inland Revenue offices and travel regularly to other areas.

Using the service

You can use our advisory service to find out about:

the taxes you need to know about
what records you need to keep
how to complete GST and employer returns
your KiwiSaver obligations
when you should file returns and make payments.

Our service is free to:

any individual or organisation in business
anyone considering setting up in business
sports clubs and other non-profit bodies.

It's particularly useful for organisations where people in voluntary positions, such as treasurers, frequently change.

Using the advisory service can:

help you keep better business records, which may reduce the cost of completing year-end accounts
let you plan your tax requirements in advance
save time by helping you get things right from the start.
