With global and local economic pressures, many Kiwi businesses are struggling to meet their provisional tax obligations on 7 May.
TMNZ’s flexible tax payment solution is a way to free up working capital and pay tax when it suits your business.
We can also help with any missed or underpaid payments for the 2026 financial year.
Unlike paying Inland Revenue’s lump sum on their schedule (or big bank fees), we let you defer or spread payments, avoid penalties, save on interest and keep your business moving through this season!
If your business’s total tax liability is less than $60, 000, spreading your payment over a maximum of 6 months with TMNZ, will cost you less than paying IRD directly.

FAQs
For businesses with a standard 31 March balance date, the third provisional tax instalment is due 7 May. However, TMNZ allows you to extend this payment deadline by up to 14 months, giving you the flexibility to keep cash in your business.
You can defer your 7 May payment to a date that suits your cashflow – without incurring Inland Revenue late payment penalties. You simply pay a competitive interest rate on the amount deferred, which is significantly lower than IRD interest and penalties.
Generally, provisional tax is calculated using the standard “uplift” method (your last year’s residual income tax + 5%). However, getting this figure right is critical to avoiding IRD interest if your income fluctuates.
Want to be certain? Our team can help you check your numbers and payment options to ensure you don’t pay a dollar more than you need to. Book a call with a Tax Expert.
Missing the 7 May instalment triggers IRD late payment penalties and use-of-money interest on the unpaid amount. Tax pooling through TMNZ is an IRD-approved way to retrospectively settle missed payments at a lower cost than paying IRD interest and penalties directly.
