IRD is increasing its review activity – are you protected?

Even if your GST or income tax return is completely correct, you could still be selected for an IRD review.

And here's the catch – even if IRD finds nothing wrong, you could still face unexpected accounting fees for responding to their enquiries.

That's where Audit Shield comes in!
Covers eligible professional fees associated with IRD enquiries, reviews and audits.
Provides between $15,000 and $75,000 in professional fee cover, depending on your policy category.
Helps protect you from unexpected accounting costs.

Our Audit Shield policy renews on 1 December 2026.
We'll be sending out renewal information to our clients shortly, so keep an eye on your inbox!

Not currently covered? You can sign up at any time during the year.

October Tax Deadlines Are Approaching

October is almost halfway over, which means there are two important tax deadlines coming up.

20 October
Quarterly FBT returns and payments for the period ending 30 September may be due.

28 October
If you have a 31 March balance date, a provisional tax instalment may be due if you file GST six-monthly or use the ratio or AIM method.

Before making your payment, it’s worth checking the amount against your current-year results and expected taxable profit to ensure it reflects where your business is actually at.

GST returns and payments for taxable periods ending 30 September may also be due on 28 October.

We help clients avoid surprises, meet their IRD deadlines and ensure their tax payments are appropriate for their circumstances.

Mental Health Awareness Week | 12–18 October 2026

This year’s theme is Belonging Matters, encouraging workplaces, whānau and communities across Aotearoa to recognise the positive difference that connection and inclusion can make to our wellbeing.

Small actions can help someone feel that they belong:
Check in with a colleague, friend or whānau member
Make time for a genuine conversation
Invite someone new to join you
Listen without judgement
Let people know they are valued

As the whakataukī reminds us: Ko au ko koe, ko koe ko au—I am you, and you are me.
