Every day a number of things cross my desk…. Some bits end up in the circular bin, others have value. The following article served 1. to remind that it can be done, and 2. that it is worthwhile, that the dollars can be significant. So if this is you, complete the form, and wait for the cheque…… :-) Rather than re type, I have copied – thanks to South Fuels for the article.
Many of you will have seen that we are getting Blue for a good cause this September. For those that don’t know what that is all about, it is for Prostate Cancer awareness. Blue September is the Prostate Cancer Foundation's national awareness campaign.
No-one enjoys having to go back to research and correct mistakes (although they are a fact of life). It is easy to make errors when reporting GST even with the best intentions of getting it right. Our aim is to minimise the incidence of these situations by helping you get it right the first time (and give you more time for more enjoyable activities).
How many of you have paid your PAYE or GST by sending the cheque on the day? Post marked payments on the day were deemed to be paid on time. This practice has been used by many when managing cash flow demands around the 20th or 28th of the month. However, the opportunity for a bit of breathing space has now been removed.
An update on payment options to IRD... IRD are now accepting credit or debit card payments, so if for any reason you are unable to access your internet banking or pay by cash or eftpos at Westpac you can now use the Credit/Debit card option on the IRD website.
Are you a “casual employee” or do you employ “casuals”? We’re here to help you understand your rights as an employee and responsibilities as an employer. Did you know casual workers have the same employment rights and entitlements as all other full-time New Zealand workers? Unfortunately few casual workers know what they are entitled to, while many employers have a similar lack of knowledge.
As accountants we are often preoccupied with measuring and reporting on past performance. It may have been a profitable year which we usually consider successful or it may have been unprofitable which we usually view more grimly. We're often very good at looking at where we've been. However, how often do we look forward to see where we want to go?
Please join us... FairWeathers and TvA Chartered Accountants are teaming up to host a Blue September Breakfast Fundraiser on September 19 which we’d love you to support. TvA’s Geoff van Asch and Warren Croft, of FairWeathers on Scott are going to paint their faces BLUE for the special occasion in aid of Prostate Cancer awareness.
