With that in mind, the Government will provide extra operating funds to Inland Revenue to collect more taxes and, in particular, to ensure outstanding company tax returns are filed. At a proposed cost of $31.3 million this is expected to raise revenues in excess of $183 million over the next four years. Taken with Inland Revenue’s tax policy work programme, there’s a strong compliance agenda to plug leaks and stop rorts to the system.\n\nThe message for businesses, of course, is to ensure tax compliance is a priority, all those i’s dotted, all those t’s crossed." image: https://web.archive.org/web/20230130130431im_/https://balanceca.nz/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/compliance-300x250.jpg --- [![Ecom](https://balanceca.nz/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/Logo_1.png)](https://balanceca.nz/) - [Home](https://balanceca.nz/) [![Ecom](https://balanceca.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/startup.png?width=60&name=startup.png) Start-ups](https://balanceca.nz/start-ups) [![Established](https://balanceca.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/establishedbusinesses.png?width=60&name=establishedbusinesses.png) Established Businesses](https://balanceca.nz/established-businesses) [![Agricultural](https://balanceca.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/agriculturalbusinesses.png?width=60&name=agriculturalbusinesses.png) Agricultural Businesses](https://balanceca.nz/agricultural-businesses) - [About](https://balanceca.nz/about-us) - [Services](https://balanceca.nz/services) [![image](https://balanceca.nz/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/services_1.png) Annual Accounting & Tax Services](https://balanceca.nz/services#nav_f4) [![image](https://balanceca.nz/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/services_2.png) Business Support Services](https://balanceca.nz/services#nav_f4) [![image](https://balanceca.nz/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/services_3.png) Business Development](https://balanceca.nz/services#nav_f4) [![image](https://balanceca.nz/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/services_4.png) Business Planning](https://balanceca.nz/services#nav_m4) [![image](https://balanceca.nz/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/services_5.png) Cashflow Management](https://balanceca.nz/services#nav_m4) [![image](https://balanceca.nz/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/services_6.png) Accountability Coaching](https://balanceca.nz/services#nav_m4) [![image](https://balanceca.nz/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/services_7.png) Succession Planning](https://balanceca.nz/services#nav_m4) [![image](https://balanceca.nz/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/services_8.png) Organisational Review](https://balanceca.nz/services#nav_b3) [![image](https://balanceca.nz/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/services%20icon-9.png) Governance](https://balanceca.nz/services#nav_b3) [![](https://balanceca.nz/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/services-10-01.png) Specialist Māori Sector Services](https://balanceca.nz/services#nav_f4) [![](https://balanceca.nz/hubfs/raw_assets/public/codfina/images/image_web/11_Connections.png) Connections](https://balanceca.nz/services#nav_b3) # BALANCE Take control of your finances with BalanceCA, your trusted partner for all your accounting and financial needs.
