Business Compliance: The GRA Approach

Our approach in the Compliance Services Division is to:-

Meet you to review your needs, both for internal management accounting, and to look at your year end compliance accounting services. Additionally we consider your provisional tax requirements, GST and other tax types, and any special requirements you may have to comprehensively (or partially) manage your taxation affairs.

Provide a quotation for your accounting services, to ensure you have certainty regarding exactly how much we are charging and for what.

Write to your old accounting advisor, requesting transfer of your records, making the record transfer process easy and seamless for you.

Manage your affairs carefully through out the year, including collecting the records off you at year end, managing any GST requirements you may have, E-filing your taxation returns to speed up any taxation refunds, and filing all statutory and accounting returns with the relevant authorities ongoing.

Disputes and Problems with IRD

Taxation problems can arise for many reasons. Whether it is a mistake made by you or an advisor to you, an unfair view being formed by IRD, or a serious issue arising from a perhaps short sighted action on your part, the issue is the same. How do you solve the problem and make it go away so you can get back to focusing on core business...and get onwith your life.

Our general approach to IRD problems is as follows:-

1. Review your issue.

2. Form a view on your legal position, - are IRD right?

3. Form a strategy to resolve the problem, whether it be to negotiate a settlement for you with IRD and try to minimise penalties, or fight for your position instructing and running full litigation via a barrister of our recommendation to you.

4. Keep you informed throughout the process, and try to manage costs to a minimum.
