Ask the expert: dealing with IRD tax requests
Q: I've had a letter from Inland Revenue wanting information about my tax records. I'm a small building business with three staff. Why am I being targeted and what do I do?
TESTIMONIALS
"It appears that the IRD strikes at the very heart of people’s fears, as our client take-up rate of Audit Shield has far exceeded our initial expectations! Although a few clients needed further explanation, most seemed to accept the straight-forward nature of the policy and we didn’t need to push the product at all. Audit Shield is a great additional service alongside our current services and we were proud to adopt this innovative product, previously unseen in New Zealand, in its early stages. Our advice to other firms is make Audit Shield available to your clients today!"
