Tax pooling partnerships
Tax Management NZ
Tax pooling is an IRD approved service that helps businesses make the right tax payments at the right time.
Instead of paying IRD directly, taxpayers pay into the tax pool when it suits them and TMNZ makes payments to IRD on their behalf. It’s like a balancing act; some businesses like to overpay tax during earlier dates, this helps to cover those businesses that need more flexible tax payment arrangements. That’s the tax pool.
TMNZ is the tax pooling intermediary Kendons use. They will charge an interest charge, but this will be lower than the IRD rate and eliminate any late payment penalties IRD would charge.
