New Zealand GST Return Filing

New Zealand

Preparation and filing of recurring indirect-tax returns for a registered New Zealand business.

For a New Zealand company, indirect-tax returns are recurring filings based on the business's taxable sales, purchases and adjustments, so accurate transaction records matter throughout the reporting period.

Coutts Consultants can arrange this service for your New Zealand company and coordinate the records, specialist work and filing from start to finish.

What the service covers

We start with the company's records and confirm what needs to be completed for the gst return filing.

The work is prepared around the accounting and reporting requirements that apply in New Zealand, so the result is useful for the company rather than simply being a generic set of figures.

What we will need from you

We give you a clear information list for the New Zealand work. Depending on the service, this can include bank statements, invoices, expenses, payroll information, previous returns and earlier financial statements.

If the New Zealand records are incomplete or inconsistent, we identify what is missing before the accounts or filing are finalised.

What we will do

Coutts Consultants coordinates the gst return filing with the appropriate accounting, tax, payroll or audit professionals and keeps the work moving to completion.

Where a filing is required, it is prepared for the relevant Inland Revenue, subject to the company providing complete and accurate information.
