Tax Services

In an ever-evolving tax landscape, individuals and businesses face unprecedented complexities. To navigate this terrain successfully, a profound understanding of tax regulations, governance, specialised skills, and deep industry insight is essential.

At Jinnah, our professionals bring forth resources, experience, and competencies to offer expert advice, ensuring our clients remain competitive, compliant, and maximise tax efficiencies.

We prioritise structuring for tax efficiency, mitigating risks, and ensuring timely awareness of tax requirements to eliminate surprises, fostering a strategic and secure business approach for our clients.

Tax planning

The complexity associated with tax laws may distract you from focussing on strategic objectives such as growing your business.

Jinnah can provide guidance in planning effective structuring of your tax affairs to help improve your profitability, financial position and cash flow. Thorough planning is required to ensure you’re not derailed by unexpected tax compliance.

Tax compliance

Tax laws change regularly, and it can be difficult for organisations to remain up to date. Staffing changes mean that knowledge levels may change within the business, further complicating the situation. There are significant financial and commercial implications for non-compliance with tax law.

We provide efficient and cost-effective services to manage your tax risks and ensure compliance with tax reporting requirements by:

preparing and submitting income tax, GST, PAYE and FBT returns.
creating tax planning opportunities arising out of the compliance process.
identifying and mitigating tax risk areas.
providing certainty over your tax dealings.
ensuring business planning and changes are reflected in tax outcomes. If your structure changes or takes on overseas clients, we make sure those changes are accounted for in the tax returns.
liaising on your behalf with the Inland Revenue Department to negotiate and resolve tax disputes.

Corporate tax

Company tax requires careful management to minimise risk and improve the bottom line of your business. Our specialist tax team can work with you to help understand the latest tax legislation and provide practical plans to efficiently manage and minimise tax costs and risks.

Taxes for individuals

Tax issues can be daunting and if managed poorly, can be costly. However, making informed decisions with the assistance of our experienced and expert team will ensure you are tax compliant.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

We can assist with every step in the GST return process including:

consulting advice on specific transactions.
review of systems.
return preparation.
audit reviews.
resolving disputes with Inland Revenue.

Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT)

FBT is a tax payable by employers on the value of non-cash benefits provided to their employees in connection with employment.

Every employer who provides fringe benefits to their employees must prepare and file a FBT return. We provide guidance for these benefits and services for tax compliance.

Employment taxes

Paying staff an appropriate wage or salary is vital for the health of your business. If your staff are unhappy, your customer will be too. Also, any inadvertent non-compliance with employment laws can have catastrophic effects for your business.

Our payroll and employment tax compliance services start with our HR team to ensure effective and compliant employment policies are put in place. Then we help with compliance and structuring for any employment related benefits.

Outsourcing of your employee tax functions gives peace of mind when it comes to PAYE, compliance with student loans, KiwiSaver, child support or other tax issues.

Tax system management

Jinnah can manage your business tax functions to drive tangible value, manage costs and mitigate risk through designing and implementing an effective system.
