Business Tax Returns & IRD Compliance
Get your business tax returns sorted — and understand what's required.
Tax doesn't need to be something you only think about when a deadline arrives.
JOE CA helps small businesses identify the returns they need, get the underlying information ready, prepare and file the relevant returns and understand their tax position.
Where you've authorised us to act for you, we can also help with Inland Revenue correspondence and information requests.

- Need a business income tax return prepared.
- Are registered for GST and need help preparing or filing GST returns.
- Have Fringe Benefit Tax obligations.
- Need help with your company's Companies Office annual return.

What we can help with
Income tax returns
JOE CA can prepare and file the applicable income tax returns for your business using the relevant financial information and accounting records.
GST returns
If your business is registered for GST, we can assist with preparing and filing your GST returns.
Fringe Benefit Tax
Where your business has Fringe Benefit Tax obligations, we can assist with the relevant return preparation and filing.
Companies Office annual returns
We can also assist with filing your company's annual return with the Companies Office.
Inland Revenue correspondence
With your authority, we can assist with Inland Revenue questions, correspondence and information requests and help explain what is required.
You don't need to be an ongoing accounting client
JOE CA can provide standalone tax return preparation as well as tax services within an ongoing accounting relationship.
We'll first check which returns are required and whether the information needed to complete them accurately is available. We then agree on the work and fee before starting.
If your accounting records need reconciling or financial statements need preparing before the tax return can be completed properly, we'll explain that upfront.
What happens if Inland Revenue contacts you?
If Inland Revenue sends a question or asks for information relating to work we've undertaken, routine matters can be dealt with under the agreed engagement.
More substantial work may fall outside that scope.
Where additional work is required, we'll explain what's involved and agree on the scope and fees before proceeding.
How it works
- 1
Find out what's required
We'll discuss your circumstances and identify the relevant returns or compliance work.
- 2
Review the records
We check whether the information required to complete the work reliably is available.
- 3
Agree on the work and fee
If additional accounting, reconciliation or historical work is required, you'll know before it proceeds.
- 4
Prepare and file
The agreed tax and compliance work is completed and we'll explain your tax position and any relevant next steps.
How is this service provided?
Business tax and compliance work can be considered individually or within an ongoing accounting relationship.
Relevant annual tax and compliance work is included in applicable accounting packages.
Standalone work is scoped and priced based on the returns required and the state of the underlying records.
Routine Inland Revenue correspondence relating to work JOE CA has undertaken can be handled under the agreed engagement. More complex enquiries, reviews, audits, historical issues or record reconstruction may be separately scoped where they fall outside that engagement.
If you're not sure what applies to your situation, call Joe and talk through what's happening.
Understand what needs to happen next
Tax work shouldn't leave you with an unexplained form or a number you don't understand.
Joe explains the relevant tax position, what information has been used and any payment dates or next steps arising from the work.
The aim is to make your obligations easier to understand and manage.
- Know which returns are required.
- Understand your tax position.
- Know what information is still needed.
- Understand important payment dates.
- Know when additional work is required before a return can be completed accurately.
