Tax & BURS Compliance Support

Registered correctly, kept current, and properly represented when BURS needs to hear from you.

What this covers

Dealing with BURS should not be the hard part

A company that is registered with the Registrar is not yet ready to trade. It needs its tax registrations, and if it employs anyone, its PAYE. Miss those and invoices get questioned, tenders get rejected and correspondence starts arriving that nobody wants to open.

We handle the registrations, prepare and lodge the applications, and manage the correspondence — and where it is appropriate, we act as your authorised representative so that BURS deals with us rather than with you.

If letters have already been sitting unanswered, bring them in. Almost everything is more manageable when it is addressed directly.

What we handle for you

Business tax registrations, including PAYE

Getting your company registered for the taxes that apply to it, and registering PAYE once you start employing, so payroll deductions are handled correctly from the first pay run.

Tax compliance assistance

Keeping your obligations current and your filings in order, so a compliance certificate is something you can produce rather than chase.

BURS-related applications and correspondence

Applications prepared and lodged, letters answered properly and on time, and queries followed through to a conclusion.

Acting as an authorised representative

Where it is appropriate, we are formally appointed to deal with BURS on your behalf — so the correspondence comes to us and gets answered.

Questions

Tax & BURS FAQ

Registration requirements depend on your company’s circumstances, so it is worth confirming rather than assuming. Tell us your situation and we will tell you what applies to you specifically — and what does not, so you are not registering for things you do not need.

PAYE is the system for deducting employees’ tax from salaries and paying it over. It becomes relevant once you employ people. We register you and make sure the deductions are set up correctly from the first payroll rather than corrected afterwards.

Bring them in or send us photos. Unanswered correspondence tends to escalate, while an addressed query usually resolves. We will read them, tell you plainly what is being asked, and respond on your behalf.

It means you formally appoint us to deal with BURS for your business, so correspondence and queries route through us. We only do this where it is appropriate for your situation, and we explain exactly what it covers before anything is signed.

Yes. We can take on the tax side alone. That said, tax work goes faster and costs less when the underlying records are current — so if the books are behind, we will usually suggest addressing that first.
