Coming from rural
backgrounds the Stem
team aren’t afraid to
get their hands dirty.
“Rolling up the sleeves and just getting on with it” is a pretty good way to describe how the Stem Rural team works. We’ve learnt that getting out of the office and getting under the bonnets of our clients’ businesses is the best way to understand which tools we can best use to help.
Just like maintenance, we believe being proactive is the best way to get best from your business and that’s why we’re always finding our clients opportunities other accountants have overlooked. If there’s a better way, we’ll find it for you.
Regardless of whether your objectives are to “just take care of business”, to achieve stratospheric growth or anywhere the middle, the Stem team is ready, sleeves rolled up and ready to get busy.
No Surprises with Income Tax
Here at Stem we can make a real difference with our No Surprises tax service. This utilises the AIM method (Accounting Information Method) of paying income tax instead of the traditional Standard provisional tax method.
Using AIM & Xero we are able to calculate your income tax every two months and you can pay this along with your GST. You only pay tax when you make a profit. If you’ve overpaid tax you can receive a refund straightaway.
To use AIM you must:
– have an annual turnover of under $5m
– be an individual or a company (no Trusts or Partnerships at this stage)
– use approved accounting software, we use Xero
We currently have over 100 clients paying their income tax via the AIM method and they all say it’s the best decision ever as there’s – ‘No Surprises!’
Inland Revenue has more information on AIM here.
The difference a Chartered Accountant can make for your business
When PSA hit Trudi’s Kiwifruit clients here in Te Puke she went all out to ensure a law change was passed to ensure that the costs to the grower became fully tax deductible. This video explains what happened.
