Christmas Shut Down 2022

We want to wish all our clients a very merry and wonderful holiday season.

Our last day working will be Friday the 23rd December.

We will open again on Monday the 23rd January 2023.

Due to the Christmas closure, all two monthly GST returns for the period October/November 2022 will need to be completed before we close on the 23rd December.

This means we will require your information by the very latest Wednesday 7th December by 9am, so we have time to process and complete all GST Returns.

GST payments are due on the 15th January 2023.

The second instalment of Provisional Tax (2 monthly GSTs and no GST) is also due on the 15th January 2023 therefore, we will be advising all of our provisional tax clients about this payment prior to our office shut down on the 23rd December.

If you complete your own GST returns but would like us to review your trading to date to advise on your provisional tax position, please contact us before the 9th of December so we can review this for you.
