Inland Revenue’s Tax Toolbox campaign to help tradies

From 13 March to 30 June, we’re running our ‘Tax Toolbox’ campaign to engage and educate construction customers.

The key objectives of the campaign are to:

• raise awareness about the Tax Toolbox (link below)
• educate customers about their core tax obligations
• empower customers to take action/tackle their tax
• give them reassurance to seek help.

Take the stress out of tax - try our Tax Toolbox

Advertising will be targeted at construction customers who we know have overdue returns and/or debt. This will include clients of tax agents.

Forty-two percent of individuals in the sector who have overdue returns or debt have tax agent representation. We encourage agents to work closely with construction sector clients in these situations to help get their financial affairs back on track.

There will be no direct contact with customers.

Where appropriate, we encourage voluntary disclosures be considered to correct past tax positions.
