Just a reminder that the 7th July tax return deadline does not apply to you when you have an accountant.
It is only for people who either don't have an accountant or who have filed their tax returns late in the past.
Accountants have until 31 March 2027 before their client's March 2026 tax returns are due.
21 years ago Complete Accounting was incorporated 🎂
I had never intended to work for myself but friends started asking and after a couple of years as a part-time sole trader working to a 7th July tax return deadline it was time to become a proper tax agent.
21 years later & I'm so grateful I'm still going, and I even have most of my clients who started the journey with me back in my 'excel' days 😂.

Happy New Financial Year 🥂 🧮
Accountants get a year until your 31 March 2026 tax return needs to be filed so there's no hurry to get your accounts done - but feel free to send your records in to me when you like so you can join the job queue.
Here’s a summary of key tax and financial changes coming into effect from 1 April 2026 for the new financial year (1 April 2026 – 31 March 2027):
📈 Kiwisaver
Default KiwiSaver contribution rates for both employees and employers increase from 3% to 3.5% from 1 April 2026.
You can apply for a temporary reduction to stay at 3% for 3–12 months if needed.
A further increase to 4% is scheduled for 1 April 2028.
💼 Minimum Wage and ACC
The adult minimum wage increases to $23.95 per hour from 1 April 2026
The ACC earners’ levy increases slightly (from ~1.67% to ~1.75%), meaning a marginally higher deduction from pay.
🧾 Tax Credits and Government Support
The In-Work Tax Credit (IWTC) base rate is temporarily boosted by $50 per week from 1 April 2026 to help working families with cost pressures (e.g. fuel costs), running for up to one year or until the petrol price condition is met.

And that's 2025 done & dusted.
I'm now on leave until the 19th January 2026, but if any clients have any urgent queries over the next 4 weeks feel free to send me a text.
Merry Christmas 🎄
