Good questions.
Do I have to tell my current accountant?
We contact them for you once you’ve signed our engagement letter. Passing files to a new accountant is a routine request between accountants.
Do I need to tell IRD?
No. We update the tax agent link with IRD. You may be asked to confirm it in myIR.
Can I switch partway through the year?
Yes. We pick up from wherever your last accountant finished.
Will my due dates change?
If you weren’t with a tax agent before, you get later due dates for returns and terminal tax once you’re linked to RAKS.
