Testimonial
Sean - Civil Construction

I was on the brink of losing everything.
IRD pressure had escalated to the point where liquidation proceedings were issued, a real and immediate threat. I had significant tax arrears, returns outstanding, and under extreme pressure. The situation had gone beyond what I could manage on my own.
Engaging Tax Debt Management was the turning point.
From the outset, Imran and his team took control immediately. They got all outstanding returns up to date, helped me understand the true position, and dealt directly with Inland Revenue on my behalf, which took a huge amount of pressure off.
What stood out was their ability to step into a crisis and bring structure to it. Their approach was both practical and strategic. They didn’t just focus on the debt, they worked through the business fundamentals, cashflow, and future viability.
The submission they prepared was detailed, credible, and clearly positioned to achieve the best possible outcome. It shifted the situation from enforcement to a structured recovery.
Without their involvement, I have no doubt my company would have been liquidated. As a result, we were able to put forward a structured proposal, secure tax relief, avoid immediate liquidation, and create a clear pathway forward.
What stood out was their experience, ability to take control in high-pressure situations, and their direct communication. If you are under serious pressure from IRD and don’t act early, you risk losing control completely.
I would strongly recommend Tax Debt Management to any business facing serious tax issues.

IRD Clamping Down on PAYE Default

Inland Revenue has issued Revenue Alert RA 26/01 (16 March 2026) highlighting that failure to remit PAYE deductions is a serious offence. Employers are required to pass on PAYE and related deductions (e.g. KiwiSaver, student loan repayments) by the due date. Failure to do so particularly where funds are knowingly used for other purposes may result in criminal prosecution.

The Alert reinforces that this is not merely a tax debt issue, but one of conduct. Persistent non-payment or using PAYE funds to finance business operations may lead Inland Revenue to treat the matter as enforcement rather than compliance, including prosecution of directors and those involved.

Penalties for breaches include fines of up to $50,000 and/or imprisonment for up to five years. Inland Revenue has made it clear that repeated or deliberate non-remittance will be actively pursued.

The key message is that early engagement is critical. Businesses must stop further non-compliance, ensure current obligations are met, and proactively engage with Inland Revenue with realistic repayment proposals. Delays or avoidance significantly increase the risk of escalation to enforcement action, including liquidation or prosecution.

KiwiSaver changes

The Government has introduced several KiwiSaver changes which come into effect on 1 July 2025, 1 April 2026 and 1 April 2028.

1 July 2025 changes
Government KiwiSaver contributions

The government contribution has dropped from 50 cents to 25 cents for each dollar you contribute to KiwiSaver each year, dropping the maximum government contribution from $521.43 to $260.72.

If you’re aged 16 or 17, you now qualify for government contributions, so long as you meet other eligibility requirements.

If you earn more than $180,000 of taxable income a year, you no longer qualify for the government contribution.

There’ll be no change to government contributions for the year ending 30 June 2025. These will be paid in July and August 2025 at the current government contribution rate.

1 April 2026 changes
Default employer and employee contribution rates

The default KiwiSaver contribution rate will rise to 3.5% (from 3%) for you and your employer.

Temporary rate reduction

You can apply for a temporary rate reduction from 1 February 2026 if you want to carry on contributing at 3% from 1 April 2026. This could be because you can’t afford the rate increase or want to save in other ways.

You can apply for a temporary rate reduction for a 3 month (92 days) to 12 month period. You can apply for the rate reduction as many times as you like.

Your employer can choose to match your temporary rate reduction. Once you move from the temporary rate to a higher rate, we’ll notify your employer.

Temporary rate reduction

Contributions for 16 and 17-year-olds

If you’re aged 16 or 17 you’ll qualify for employer KiwiSaver contributions from 1 April 2026, so long as you meet other eligibility requirements.

If you contribute to KiwiSaver from your wages, your employer will need to start making contributions. Before 1 April 2026, your employer only needs to contribute for employees aged 18 to 65.

1 April 2028 changes
The default KiwiSaver contribution rate will rise again to 4% (from 3.5%) for you and your employer.
