The 2026 Budget introduces a significant change for business owners 📢

If a company is liquidated while a shareholder has an overdrawn shareholder current account (meaning they owe money to the company), that amount may now be treated as taxable income instead of being written off.

This change could have substantial tax implications for companies planning to wind up or restructure.

If you're unsure how these new rules apply to your business, give us a call!

Running an Airbnb and thinking about GST registration? 🏚

A recent Inland Revenue statement has clarified that no GST can be claimed for goods and services costing $10,000 or less (excluding GST) purchased before GST registration and later used in a taxable activity 💰

This may apply if you've recently started hosting and purchased items such as furniture, linen, kitchenware, cleaning supplies, software or undertook renovations before becoming GST registered 🛌

The rules can be complex, so it's important to understand what GST you may be able to claim and what records you'll need to keep 📚
