Afirmo Co-founder, Mary Fitzgerald says “It is very exciting for the Afirmo team to have released this significant upgrade – and it represents a step-change for New Zealand small business owners and how they can choose to manage their tax obligations.”

“Afirmo exists to motivate people in to self-employment – to make going into and running a business attainable for everyone, and we know one area business owners really struggle is in getting their tax management sorted – our Tax Tool makes tax less taxing for these people.”

The Afirmo Tax software has been developed to support small business owners, providing them with an automated business tax tool, which gets GST and Tax obligations sorted efficiently and effectively:

  • Afirmo automatically calculates small business’s tax bills dynamically each time they add more information
  • The Tax Tool software calculates income tax, GST (if any), ACC levies and student loan repayments
  • Also available is a deductions calculator to optimise tax liabilities
  • Maintain a tax profile within Afirmo so the Afirmo tax accountants know your complete tax position
  • Enables Afirmo customers to link bank accounts to match to sales invoices and expense claims or use Afirmo to cash account for transactions
  • Prepares GST and income tax returns ready for filing when they are due. Afirmo takes care of that too as your registered tax agent
  • Enables Afirmo customers to save cash in Afirmo’s BNZ issued wallets ready for when they need to pay Inland Revenue
  • Integrates with Akahu to securely link accounts if Afirmo customers choose to
