Taxes

Sound fair? Ahhhh the election year. the time that parties of all stripes ignore the systemic issues and try their best to play the populist hits. Meanwhile, we collectively yawn as either side of the political spectrum tinkers at the edges without really fixing anything –...

Audit time This is the time of year that we usually start to spam our tax clients about audit insurance. There is good reason we do this, and more so lately. In 2025, the IRD was getting a staggering $11.81 return on investment for audit activity....
