Happy new tax year!
And you know what that means, don’t you?  Time to get your books sorted and into us.  Thanks to technology, the days of sending us paper are well and truly gone.  And what a relief that is because one of the worst jobs of my career was having the most enormous box of paper bank statements dumped on me.  It wasn’t the size that frightened me but the smell.  It absolutely reeked.  I spent the next week locked in my cubicle trying not to breathe in the toxic stench, while the other accountants treated me like I was contagious.

This was twenty-something years ago, in one of the big old prestigious firms and junior accountants were barely permitted to speak, let alone complain.  There were more than sixty accountants crammed into my section of the office and I swear every single one of them passed by my desk (keeping a safe distance, mind you) giving their unwanted opinion on the origins of the aroma.  To this day it remains a mystery but I suspect a pet (now potty-trained) is out there somewhere laughing at me still.

And on that note, we look forward to receiving your ‘smell-free’ records soon.

Yes, it’s true. The IRD has started giving away free all inclusive holidays with your room, meals, beverages and even some sports activities included.  To be eligible, you’ll need to stop filing tax returns and start specialising in cash-jobs.  The most recent “winners” were in the building sector but that doesn’t mean they won’t open this up to your industry too.
