You have a five-year goal for your business. What needs to happen in the next 90 days?
Choose three priorities, put some numbers behind them and make time to check progress. Better pricing, faster payment or fewer hours on administration could be a useful place to start.

Where do you want your business to be in five years?

More sales? Better profits? More staff? Less time working in it? Or perhaps a business you can eventually sell?

A good business plan isn't something you prepare once and leave in a drawer. It should connect your 5-year vision to where you need to be in 2 years, 12 months—and what you need to start doing today.

And don't forget the 4 P's of Marketing: Product, Price, Place and Promotion.

JOE CA can help turn the ideas in your head into a practical business plan, put some numbers behind it and then help monitor how you're actually performing.

𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐚𝐱 ?
What is the latest you could pay any short paid 2024 provisional and/or terminal tax without incurring penalties and how ?
𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 This could be the 18th June 2025 if you were to purchase some tax credits from a “Tax pooling” IRD approved intermediary.
𝟏. 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐚𝐱 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬
Yes tax credits are sold by approved intermediaries who have funds, “Tax Pools”, sitting with the IRD that they can transfer to your income tax account on the date it was due. You pay the Tax Pool Intermediary the tax due plus an interest fee say 1% to 2 % lower than the IRD would charge you and save by not incurring late payment penalties. The IRD’s current interest rate is 10.88% which is dropping to 9.89% on the 8th May 2025.
2. F𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
If you are forward looking you could retain your 2026 provisional tax for working capital and enter into a financing agreement to pay the Tax pooling intermediary as late as the 18th June 2027. The finance rate is competitive with rates as low as 5%pa. So rather than paying 2026 Provisional tax on the 28 August 2025, 15 January 2026 and 7th May 2026 you pay the Tax Pooling Intermediary on the 18th June 2027 plus interest.
The Finance option and the Buying Tax credits only applies to Income tax.
𝟑. 𝐈𝐑𝐃 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
If you are reassessed for any tax type and have a tax bill that is now old and late there is no time bar on how far back you can buy the tax credits to cover the debt. Tax Pool Intermediaries are holding tax credits that go back over 10 years.
𝟒. 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐬
For the tax pool to work there needs to be organisations or individuals willing to deposit funds in the Tax Pool. Their return is around what the IRD pays for overpaid taxes currently the rate the IRD pay is 4.3% dropping to 3.27% on the 8th May 2025. If the funds they deposit are utilised by a Buyer or Borrower they earn an extra margin above that.
