What’s New in NZ Tax? What Every Business Owner Needs to Know
Tax rules don’t stand still—and recent Inland Revenue developments could have a real impact on how you run and report your business. Join the team from Findex for a practical update on key NZ tax changes and IRD focus areas that business owners should have on their radar.
This session will cover:
• Inland Revenue’s latest views on what qualifies as a “business” (and why it matters)
• Proposed IRD changes affecting overdrawn current accounts and loans to shareholders or related parties
• IRD guidance on repairs and maintenance, asbestos removal costs, and what’s deductible
• Good year-end tax housekeeping and practical steps to get your balance date right
Whether you’re a business owner, advisor, or decision-maker, this presentation will help you stay compliant, avoid common pitfalls, and head into year-end with confidence.
