GST (Goods and Services Tax)

Goods and services tax (GST) is a 15% tax added to the price of most goods and services in New Zealand, including most imported goods and some imported services.

You must register for GST If you carry out a taxable activity and your turnover (gross income) for the last 12 months was $60,000 or more, or if GST is included in your prices, you must register for GST.

You may register for GST voluntarily If you carry out a taxable activity and your annual turnover is under $60,000, you may register for GST voluntarily, but bear in mind you'll be subject to the same requirements as everyone else who’s GST registered.

We will help and guide you in deciding the best accounting basis and taxable periods suitable for your business.

PAYE (Personal Income Tax)

PAYE or Pay As You Earn is paying tax on the income you earn.

If you are self employed then you have to pay tax on your income. If you have employed staff to work for you, then as an employer you are required to make deductions from your employees earning a wage, salary or schedular payments.

PAYE is pretty straightforward once you're set up. But different rules can apply to some payments, eg lump sum payments like bonuses or retirement payouts, or in any other special circumstances.

If you are confused in any way regarding what you need to do, it is better to seek clarification. You can either speak to Inland Revenue or your tax advisor. If you don't have a tax advisor then feel free to call us at NZ Business Experts.
