Make Tax Work for Your Business

Provisional tax doesn’t need to be a source of stress—especially if your business has seasonal highs and lows or you want to keep cash available for growth. Our free client training session shows you how to take control of your tax obligations using Tax Traders, so you can keep cash flowing where your business needs it most.

Why Learn About Tax Pooling?

Traditional provisional tax requires you to pay Inland Revenue (IR) on fixed dates, even if that doesn’t suit your cash flow. With tax pooling, you gain the flexibility to make payments when it works for your business—without facing the steep interest or penalties that normally apply if you miss a payment.

We partner with Tax Traders, New Zealand’s leading IR‑approved tax pooling provider. Their platform allows you to time your tax payments around your actual trading cycles, giving you more freedom and financial breathing room. Tax Traders works by accepting your payments and transferring ‘date‑stamped’ tax to IR, so it’s treated as if you paid on time.

How Tax Pooling Boosts Your Cash Flow

With up to 22 months to pay, tax pooling allows you to manage provisional tax on your schedule. This means you can:

• Hold on to cash during quieter trading periods
• Free up funds for growth, investment, or unexpected expenses
• Avoid IR late payment penalties
• Reduce your interest costs compared to IR’s standard rates
