TAX PREPARATION
Tax returns, done right.
Your’ve got enough on your plate. Hand your tax to someone who does this every day and stop thinking about it.
WHY TAX LINK
Tax is what we do.
A lot of accounting firms are pivoting toward business coaching and lifestyle branding. We're not. Tax preparation and compliance is our core work, and it has been since 1991.
We're ATAINZ accredited, hold IRD Extension of Time status, and work across Xero and MYOB every day. Local people who know your name, backed by a national network of 15 offices.
01
You only pay what you owe.
We know the rules. Every deduction claimed, every threshold checked. Not a cent more than the law requires.
02
Same person, every year.
No repeating your story. Your accountant knows your history, your setup, and what changed since last year.
03
Plain English, always.
No jargon. If something affects your tax, we'll tell you what it means and what to do about it.
04
Extended deadlines.
As your tax agent, your filing deadline moves from July to the following March. That's over eight extra months.
WHO WE HELP
Tax preparation for every situation.
Individuals
Salary earners with secondary income, investment income, or Working for Families credits that need reconciling at year end.
Small Businesses
Company returns, partnerships, and look-through companies. Prepared accurately and filed on time, every year.
Rental Property Owners
Residential investment property is one of the most complex areas of NZ tax. Interest deductibility, ring-fencing, bright-line, we keep up so you don't have to.
Trusts & Estates
The 39% trustee tax rate and enhanced disclosure rules make getting trust tax right more important — and more complex — than ever.
Self-Employed & Sole Traders
From your first year trading to managing provisional tax and GST, we handle the compliance so you can focus on the work.
Non-Residents
Earning income from New Zealand sources while living overseas? We prepare IR3NR returns and manage your NZ tax obligations remotely.
HOW IT WORKS
From first call to filed return.
No matter how complex your situation, the process is straightforward. Here's what to expect.
01
Get in touch
Call, email, or use the form on our website. Tell us a bit about your situation and we'll let you know how we can help.
02
We link to your IRD account
You sign an engagement letter and authorise us as your tax agent. We link to your IRD account and your extended deadlines kick in immediately.
03
We prepare your return
We gather your documents, reconcile everything against IRD's records, and prepare your return. You'll receive it with a cover letter explaining what you owe and when it's due.
04
You approve, we file
Once you've reviewed and signed your return declaration, we file it with IRD. If anything comes up during the year, we're here to help.
TAX AGENT BENEFIT
More time to file. More time to pay.
Having us as your registered tax agent automatically extends your filing deadline. Here's what that looks like compared to filing yourself.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
Problems we solve every day.
Not sure if you need to file?
Rental income, freelance work, overseas income, investments. If you’ve earned anything outside your main salary, you probably need to file. We can tell you in five minutes.
Behind on your returns?
Whether it's one year or five, we'll work through the backlog, help you sort things out with IRD, and get you back on track, without judgement.
Hit with an unexpected tax bill?
Second-year provisional tax, incorrect tax codes on a second job, or ring-fenced rental losses, these catch people off guard. We'll sort it out and make sure it doesn't happen again.
Dreading provisional tax?
Four calculation methods, use-of-money interest, and the January instalment landing right when cashflow is tightest. We'll find the right method for your situation and keep you on top of it.
