Tax compliance services
Stay on top of tax with clear, reliable support
Tax is an unavoidable part of doing business, but it doesn’t need to be something that keeps you awake at night.
At ilumin, we help you understand your tax obligations, what needs to happen and when. We’ll make sure the right tax returns are prepared and filed, keep you informed about upcoming payments and explain what you need to know in plain English.
That means fewer surprises, a clearer understanding of your tax position and more confidence to plan ahead.
Tax returns
We prepare and file tax returns for businesses, individuals, trusts and other entities, making sure your obligations are met accurately and on time.
Just as importantly, we’ll explain anything you need to know so your tax return isn’t simply something that disappears into the system each year.
Tax planning
Knowing what tax payments are coming makes it much easier to plan for it.
We can help you understand your likely tax obligations ahead of time and consider the tax implications of business decisions before you make them. This gives you greater visibility over what’s ahead and helps reduce unexpected pressure on your cashflow.
IRD communication
We deal with IRD so you don’t have to.
We can manage communication with IRD on your behalf, respond to queries and help resolve issues that arise. We’ll keep you informed about what’s happening and explain anything you need to do.
Tax payment reminders
Tax deadlines can be easy to lose sight of when you have everything else involved in your business competing for your attention.
We’ll keep you informed about upcoming tax payments, including how much is due and when, so you have time to prepare rather than being caught by surprise.
Provisional tax
If you pay provisional tax, understanding how much you need to pay and when can make managing your cashflow much easier.
We’ll help you understand how provisional tax applies to you, keep you informed about upcoming payments and consider whether your payments need to be adjusted when your circumstances change.
Tax pooling and instalment arrangements
Sometimes the timing of a tax payment doesn’t line up neatly with the cash available in your business.
Where appropriate, we can help you explore options such as tax pooling or, instalment arrangements with IRD, giving you a practical way to manage your obligations when cashflow is tight or things haven’t gone to plan.
Business tax advice
Tax questions don’t only arise at tax-return time. Whether you’re making a significant purchase, changing the way your business operates, considering a new structure or simply unsure about the tax implications of a decision, we’re here to help.
We’ll explain what you need to consider and how the options may affect you, so you can make an informed decision rather than finding out about the tax consequences afterwards.
Tax advice that supports your bigger picture
Tax shouldn’t be looked at in isolation.
The decisions you make about tax can affect your cashflow, business plans and, ultimately, what you want your business to achieve for you personally.
That’s why we take the time to understand more than what tax is due and when. We look at your circumstances, where your business is heading and what matters to you, so our advice supports both your immediate obligations and your longer-term plans.
It’s about getting your tax right today while helping you make better decisions about tomorrow.
When do I need to file my tax return?
The filing date depends on your circumstances, the type of return and whether you have a tax agent.
As an ilumin client, we’ll let you know what needs to be filed and when, and help make sure the information we need is gathered in plenty of time.
Can you deal with IRD for me?
Yes. As your tax agent, we can communicate with IRD on your behalf about your tax affairs.
We’ll manage queries and correspondence where appropriate, keep you informed and let you know if we need anything from you.
Can you help me plan for upcoming tax payments?
Absolutely. Knowing what’s coming is one of the best ways to take the stress out of tax.
We can help you understand your upcoming obligations and expected payments so you can factor them into your cashflow and plan ahead.
What happens if I am behind on tax?
Talk to us as early as possible.
Being behind on tax can feel overwhelming, but ignoring it generally makes the situation harder. We can help you understand what you owe, communicate with IRD and explore the options available for getting things back on track.
