Keeping a lump of cash aside to pay provisional tax on your Inland Revenue due dates can be challenging for any business, especially if you have cashflow issues and need money on hand. For some companies and sole traders, tax pooling is the perfect solution.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What\u2019s tax pooling?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Being part of a tax pool provides more flexibility on when you pay provisional tax to Inland Revenue, rather than being tied to the IRD\u2019s deadlines.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How it works<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

IRD-approved intermediaries<\/a> such as TMNZ<\/a> or Tax Traders<\/a> transfer money to Inland Revenue on your behalf. Once the pool has made the payment to IRD, it is considered ‘tax paid’.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All you have to do is keep up with your payments to the pool or purchase tax payments with a finance charge. This allows you to better make payments to help your cashflow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tax pools provide flexibility, allowing you to overpay when you have a bit more money and giving breathing room when things get tight. Overpayers help other businesses in the pool that need more time to make their payments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The pros of tax pooling<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
    \r\n
  1. You\u2019ll avoid IRD\u2019s penalty charges and use of money interest (UOMI) charges for late payments as the pool will always make time-stamped payments for you.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
  2. If you haven\u2019t paid enough tax to meet your provisional tax liability, tax pools typically charge lower interest rates for purchasing tax payments than those charged by IRD.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
  3. You can dip into your tax pool payments and use them as an emergency line of credit if you\u2019re short on cash, as long as you top up the money later.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
  4. If you take money out of the pool, you\u2019ll be charged a lower rate of interest than those charged by the banks.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    In short, tax pools can give you more control over your provisional tax obligations. Talk to us today to see if tax pooling is the right fit for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
