TaxRefunds.co.nz

Now, if you're anything like me and you have NO clue about anything to do with taxes, tax refunds etc, and have been too scared to try and tackle the situation by yourself, I would HIGHLY recommend these guys.

They're FANTASTIC!

I applied for 3 years worth of refunds and have just received $703.52... I'm so stoked!
Just what I needed at this time, I'm so happy!

The best part is, is that their fees are so minimal - From a $254 refund for the year 2005, I received $219... So REALLY reasonable when you consider how much an accountant can cost.

Anyways, just thought I'd bring them to your attention and give them the plugging that they deserve because they've just helped me out SO much.

YAY!

hmm...the site isn't working for me

do you clich on do dependant children??? and when it says click on what year you want do you have to go back an do the other years???

Hmmm i want to try but i really couldnt handle it right now if we owed them $ dont think we should and im sure they would have told us but i still worry

They don't calculate tax owing, only refunds. So if you owe money, they won't actually say anything - it's like they do all the calculations and don't lodge a return if you owe, but do if you have a refund.

I just emailed them and said that I wasn't eligible anyway so there was no need to do the documentation and they said it was fine.

True Auntie Sarah, that said though the calculators are only guides and can be wrong!

My 2007 tax return, the calculators said I was owed $250 and when I sent in my return I only got $38!!!!!!!

I just did DH's 2008 on their calculators and according to that he is due $2500.00 for that year alone and all the info entered is correct... I doubt very much that is how much he is actually due but I hope it is, cos it would come very much in handy right now.

Don't do it, seriously its such a crock and they charge so much.

Go to the IRD site, request a summary of earnings (not personal tax summary). That way you will not end up having to pay anything if you haven't been taxed enough. Then go on to the calculators. If it works out they owe you something, then ask for a personal tax summary. Easy as.

That's all these people do. They really do rely on people thinking that they do some magical thing and that the normal person can't do it themselves. Take my advice and save yourself potentially hundreds of dollars.

I'm with emz, do it yourself and save the money.

If IRD are slow, phone them back. Loosing upwards of 10% of your refund for such a simple process seems mad to me.

This just reminded me I need to send in my childcare rebate forms, I'm entitled for every year since 2003 which is quite a bit.
