Did somebody say June already?!

It’s been a big year so far for us, and like our clients, everyone has been working hard and giving it their all.

The world works in mysterious ways… Independence Day in Samoa is this Monday too.

To our whole team, have a restful and well deserved long weekend guys! ⭐

For families, this is either a well debated topic… or the subject no one wants to talk about! In case you missed our Q1 News, here’s a well considered article from Logan Granger talking through the complexities of wealth transfer... and those grey areas which can be difficult to navigate fairly.

Today more than ever, we are reminded to be grateful and respectful of what we have, what was defended. Near the top of the list, humanity and decency.

We can’t change the international news, but we can all do our bit to shape the community. Neighbours, strangers, the traffic queue in the morning…

In the minute of silence, a simple thought – perhaps the best way to honour those who sacrificed their lives, and those who continue to serve, is through our actions every day.

Thank you to our Service men and women, and our brave ANZACs.

No longer just isolated cases, there are more efforts being made by IRD in the construction industry to work with businesses, and ensure they are operating within the guidelines – particularly around GST and PAYE.

Find out what your business needs to pay attention to for IRD visibility, and a positive outcome.

Thanks Logan for these insights. 👍

Why it’s a great move:

• Big client exposure and real responsibility

Within the space of a week, we will soon have had the End of the Financial Year, Easter break, daylight savings ending and the beginning of the school holidays... Crumbs, pass the chocolates!

Go well, and we hope you can have some well deserved time off with family and friends.

Welcome to our Q1 Newsletter

It feels like time travel, but here we are suddenly… with the end of March just around the corner!

To help your end of financial year prep, the News this quarter includes a link to our Year End Checklist (with 22 up-to-date considerations), followed by further tax return information… how to claim home office expenses, the use of motor vehicles for business, and details on business asset purchases or sales.

For articles, we take a fresh look at Wealth Transfer and how best to navigate that fairly, balancing family expectations and realities. And recap articles on KiwiSaver Changes (starting 1 April 2026), a practical guide to Succession Planning…and we look into tax exposure, are your Overseas Assets on IRD’s radar?

If you’re after something different, our ‘Out of the Box’ section reviews a great read on different types of wealth, recommends an album from Kiwi music legends and reviews a powerful life story captured on film. Plus for art and travel enthusiasts… we share an opportunity for the trip of a lifetime!

Enjoy, and we hope you have a relaxing break over Easter! ☀️
