We work collaboratively across business groups, sharing information with one another and combining our skills and knowledge to maximise our effectiveness.
Customer and Compliance Services - Individuals | Ratonga Kiritaki me te Tautukunga—Takitahi
Our people in this group make tax compliance simpler by giving advice and support to individuals, families, tax agents and micro-business customers, including not-for-profit organisations. The ‘Right from the Start’ approach means they assist our customers to get their interactions right, intervene early when they’re getting it wrong and take action when people choose not to do the right thing. This helps ensure everyone pays and receives the right entitlements.
