Kay Mccabe

“Raj has made sense of some complicated financials, made them neat and tidy and explained everything fully. I’ve been working with Raj and Navin for years now and totally recommended them.”

Glenda Brooks

“Working as a self-employed sole trader, Raj and Navin have been managing the accounting of our business for over 40 years now and we have been very happy with their work – keeping everything up to date and organised for us. Raj has been very helpful with advice whenever I have had difficulties with online work. Thanks for all your work over the years as we now retire the business.”

Mark price

“I’ve been Navin’s customer for just over a year now. He’s great. Managed my properties and saved be a bunch of tax. Explanations are clear as day and the rest of the team treat my subordinates doing errands with poise and respect. I’ve tried out a few accountancy firms over the years but Navin is keeping my business for a years to come. Very happy with the professionalism provided. If you need an accountant that cuts straight through IRD nonsense, keeps your files up to date, makes submissions on time, and treats you regardless of business financial knowledge with respect – you need to call MSA!”

Chris Ridge

“The staff at MSA have made handling the accounting, gst, and tax for my business much easier. They are always there when I need them, they always pick up the phone, and they are very helpful when I’m asking questions and need guidance. When I did hit a rough patch, they were able to get paper work sorted quickly for me. Overall, we’ve never had problems with IRD regarding GST and tax during our time with MSA, so they’re doing a good honest job for us. I’ve been with MSA for over a decade now, and going forward, I can see the advantages that their services have to offer me. I am very satisfied with what they do for me, and I recommend them to you because they are reliable and on point with their accounting, gst, and tax services”

Kevin Liu

“Great service by the team, appreciated, company recommended to others, Raj & TK (Whom I have dealt w/) have been very hospitable & helpful wherever necessary..”

What You Need to Know

Clear explanations of common accounting, tax and business matters, along with helpful information about how we work.

How often do I need to file GST returns in New Zealand?

Filing frequency depends on annual turnover. Six-monthly is available if your turnover is $500,000 or less, two-monthly is the standard cycle for most businesses, and monthly is required once turnover exceeds $24 million (or optional if you prefer). MSA will advise which frequency suits your business and cash flow.

Provisional tax is income tax paid in instalments through the year rather than in one lump sum. It generally applies if your residual income tax was more than $5,000 in the previous year. MSA calculates it under the method that suits you — standard, estimation, ratio or AIM — and can use tax pooling to ease cash flow.

The right structure depends on your goals, risk appetite, number of owners and tax position. A sole trader is simplest for one person, a company provides limited liability and a flat 28% tax rate, an LTC offers tax transparency for losses in the early years, and a trust can help with asset protection. MSA will assess your circumstances and recommend the best fit, then set it up for you.

Annual accounts are prepared once a year for tax compliance and statutory purposes and look backwards over the full year. Management accounts are prepared more frequently — monthly or quarterly — and are designed to help you make operational decisions while there is still time to act on them.

MSA’s payroll service covers employee records, wage and salary calculations, payslips, leave and holiday pay under the Holidays Act, PAYE and student loan deductions, KiwiSaver administration, payday filing to Inland Revenue, final pays, and ACC levy management.

A family trust can be valuable for asset protection, succession planning and managing how income and capital are distributed — but it also carries real compliance obligations and cost, and the tax advantages are narrower than they used to be. Whether it suits you depends on your circumstances. MSA offers a free consultation to help you decide.
