IR-filing to the IRD

The rules for FBT payments change on a regular basis. At Better Business Accountants we keep up to date with the latest tax trends, enabling us to provide accurate advice on preparing FBT returns. We can also advise on the FBT consequences of proposals you intend to make, ensuring you make informed decisions.

Rather than paying excessive amounts of FBT, let the experts answer your tax queries. We can help you develop and complete the administration for a cost-effective employee benefit plan.

ACC LEVIES

At Better Business Accountants, we offer clients the option of being your agent for ACC purposes. ACC invoices may not always be correct and therefore you can end up paying more for your ACC levies than you need to.

The types of errors that we find are:

Wrong classification rates used, resulting in incorrect charging
Incorrect liable earnings information
Not splitting the income to allow for the different types of work carried out by the various business owners
Incorrect charging of levies where changes have been made to the business structure

We have also found, where a recommendation has been made to clients to consider alternative ACC products, that some clients have not followed up on that advice and are therefore not maximising the opportunities offered by the ACC legislation.

One of the services our firm offers clients is an ACC Administration and Advisory service. This involves our firm acting as your agent for all your ACC related matters. The advantages to you are:

All ACC related information will come to us
We will review the invoices and ensure they are correct
We will advise you immediately of payments due
You can rest assured in the knowledge that your levies are correct, and have been minimized
We will advise you on the best options available to you for your ACC cover
We will keep you up to date with any changes in ACC legislation that may affect you

Contact our team if you would like more information on ACC Levies.
