Thoughtful Thursday 💭
As business owners, it’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget to step back and review the bigger picture.

Here are a few questions worth thinking about this week:
• How are you standing out from your competitors?
• What are you doing differently that gives clients a reason to choose you?
• Have you reviewed your pricing recently? With rising costs, now might be the right time to reassess your pricing and make sure it still reflects the value you provide.

At ANCA Accounting Solutions, we use Xero to help our clients stay on top of their numbers, track business performance and make more informed decisions with confidence.

If you’re unsure where your business currently sits financially, now is a great time to review your numbers for the last 6 months and plan ahead.

Most importantly — take action and keep pushing forward. Consistency, small improvements, and backing yourself over time are what create real growth. 🚀

📢 We’ve recently seen an increase in Inland Revenue carrying out GST reviews and following up on unpaid GST amounts.

Now is a great time for business owners to make sure their GST processes are accurate and up to date.

Here are a few key tips we regularly share with our clients 👇

💡 Set aside GST regularly - Use a separate bank account suffix and transfer a percentage of income weekly to help prepare for upcoming GST payments and avoid cash flow pressure.
📂 Upload documents into Xero - Attaching invoices to larger expenses and asset purchases helps maintain accurate records and makes GST compliance much easier.
🚚 Claim GST correctly on freight - For business that sell products in NZ and internationally, GST can generally only be claimed on the New Zealand portion of freight charges shown on NZ Post invoices.
💰 Maximise GST claims on financed assets - When purchasing assets using finance, GST is generally claimed on the full purchase price — not just the deposit or repayments.

Having a structured GST process means fewer surprises, improved cash flow management, and confidence that your GST returns are being filed correctly.

If you need help reviewing your GST processes or staying compliant, feel free to get in touch with our team.

GST due date approaching — don’t let 28 May catch you out ⏰

The next GST return filing and payment due date is 28 May. Before you submit, it’s worth doing a quick check to avoid errors that can cost time and money later.

✔️ Check all income has been recorded
Make sure all sales and business income for the period are included.

✔️ Review expense coding
Expenses should be coded correctly. If you’ve purchased an asset using finance or a loan, remember the full asset cost may need to be included for GST purposes, not just the repayments.

✔️ Reconcile your accounts
In Xero, run your Reconciliation Report and make sure your accounts are fully up to date.

💡 Extra tip: Review the invoices for your 5 largest expenses to confirm GST has been claimed correctly — this simple step can prevent common filing mistakes.

Property Investors — Are You Claiming Everything You’re Entitled To?

Here’s what we’re currently discussing with our residential rental property clients:

✔ Interest Deductibility: From 1 April 2025, investors can claim 100% of the interest on funds borrowed for residential rental properties regardless of when the property was purchased or when the loan was drawn down.

✔ Chattels Valuation: If this is your first year owning a rental, a chattels valuation can potentially save you income tax over time through claiming depreciation each year. We highly recommend Valuit who specialise in rental property chattel valuations and make the process simple and worthwhile.

✔ Bright-Line Test: If you’ve sold a residential property recently, the bright-line test may apply if the property was purchased within 2 years.

Please note: This is general guidance only and individual circumstances can affect your position.

At ANCA Accounting Solutions, we invest time in educating our clients because we’re genuinely passionate about helping property investors succeed.

With the end of financial year approaching, we’re taking on new rental property clients and committing to a 10-working-day turnaround on rental returns.

💼 Fees from $645 + GST

Whether you want to improve cash flow, maximise tax efficiency or need your return filed within 10 working days — we’re here to help.

Starting off the week with some tips for Residential Property Investors:

🏠Interest on home loans for rental properties: As of 1 April 2024, property investors can claim a deduction for 80% of the interest on funds borrowed for residential rental properties. This is regardless of when the property was acquired or when the loan was drawn down.
New build property owners can still claim 100% of their interest costs.

🏠Chattels valuations: If this is your first year owning a rental property, valuing the chattels and therefore claiming depreciation each year can save you thousands of dollars in tax over a period of time. Valuit are great at this - https://www.valuit.co.nz/

🏠Cash back for loans: If you received a cash back from the bank for refinancing or customer retention; this becomes income for you.

Did you know - Payments to the principal of your loan aren’t claimable as an expense as you are repaying the amount borrowed for the purchase of the property. Only interest on the loan is deductible as an expense.

At ANCA Accounting Solutions, we invest our time in educating our clients and are sincerely passionate about this.

We currently have space to take on new rental property clients and our pricing starts from $625+GST. If you are a property manager, I would be keen to collaborate with you and see how I can assist your property owners. Contact us today on 021 031 6200 if you a looking for a value-based accountant.
