⚠️ Tax Arrears are often a symptom of a wider business problem.
Simply negotiating a payment arrangement with IRD may not be enough. If the business continues operating in the same way, it may struggle to meet both the arrangement and its ongoing GST, PAYE and income tax obligations.
At Advisory Accountants, we look beyond the existing tax debt. We assess and, where necessary, help restructure the business by:
✅ Reviewing profitability, pricing and operating costs
✅ Preparing realistic cashflow forecasts
✅ Restructuring wages, drawings and shareholder payments
✅ Improving bookkeeping and financial reporting
✅ Introducing payroll and tax-saving systems
✅ Setting aside GST and PAYE as payments are received
✅ Developing an affordable proposal for the tax arrears
✅ Monitoring the business to help keep future taxes up to date
The objective is not simply to arrange repayment of the old debt. It is to build a stronger and more sustainable business that can meet the arrangement, remain compliant and avoid falling back into arrears.
With more than 20 years of experience, Advisory Accountants provides practical and confidential support to businesses throughout New Zealand.
