Tax Obligations
We understand that for many people tax can seem complex and a total mystery. SMYD will help you understand tax, and know exactly what tax means and why, so you no longer feel like you are in the dark.
Looking after your tax affairs includes:
- Preparing annual accounts for you and your business
- Based off the annual accounts, we then prepare tax returns – whether those are personal, partnership, trusts, sole trader or company tax returns
- We work with you to ensure you plan and put money aside for tax – as no one likes surprise bills!
- We provide advice on all forms of tax obligations – GST/ FBT/ ACC.
Xero
Xero is a must have for any business owner, no matter the size. It’s our go-to accounting software for a reason – because it’s the simply the best, better than all the rest!
Some of the Xero services SMYD offers are:
- Setting you up on Xero
- Mentoring you on how to use Xero confidently and ensure you get the best out of it
