New Zealand's Budget 2026 is here — and it's a disciplined, infrastructure-led plan focused on long-term stability over short-term stimulus. 📊

Swipe through for the key takeaways:
✅ A return to surplus by 2028/29
✅ A $7 billion infrastructure package — roads, rail, hospitals and schools
✅ $5.5 billion more for frontline health
✅ No broad tax cuts, but FBT simplification and a new financial-sector levy
✅ A major public-sector restructure ahead

The tax environment stays largely steady, but the shifts beneath the surface could shape how you plan, structure, and grow your business.

A fantastic few days in Auckland at the 2026 DFK ANZ Conference this May.

The conference brought together firms from across Australia and New Zealand to share insights, strengthen connections, and discuss the future of the profession — from advisory and AI to leadership, compliance, and client relationships.

DFK OGC Partner Mike McNab joined the panel discussion:
“AML in Practice: Lessons from New Zealand & Preparing Australian Firms” — sharing practical perspectives from New Zealand’s AML/CFT experience since 2019, as Australia prepares for similar regulatory changes.

Another meaningful highlight was DFK ANZ’s NZ$10,000 donation to Starship Hospital. We’re proud to be part of a network that continues to support communities and organisations making a real difference.

And of course, the pre-gala dinner brought a bit of fun too. The DFK OGC partners joined in on the purple-themed dress code — with special mention to Sanjay, who fully embraced the brief (with a little help from the team wardrobe). 💜

Thank you to DFK ANZ, the speakers, organisers, sponsors, and everyone involved for a memorable conference.

At DFK OGC, we value opportunities like this to stay connected with our wider network, share practical insights, and continue bringing informed, forward-thinking advice to the businesses we support.

The minimum wage increase is now in effect — is your business prepared for the impact?

Back in December 2025, Workplace Relations and Safety Minister, Brooke van Velden, announced a planned rise in the adult minimum wage. From 1 April 2026, the adult minimum wage increased to $23.95 per hour, with training and starting-out wages rising to $19.16 per hour.

For businesses with multiple minimum wage employees, these increases can quickly add pressure to payroll costs and cashflow.

The good news? There are practical ways to manage the impact — from smarter rostering and staff retention to reviewing pricing strategies and investing in automation.

👉 Read our latest article for 5 ways to help keep wage costs manageable while supporting productivity and growth.

Are you up to speed with the recent changes to Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT)?

From April 2026, updates to FBT rules may affect how your business treats certain employee benefits — including gift cards, motor vehicles, and health & safety equipment.

In some cases, employers now have more flexibility to apply either:
✔ FBT, or
✔ PAYE treatment through employment income.

While the changes offer more options, they also make it more important to review whether your current approach is still compliant.

If your business provides employee benefits such as:
• Company vehicles
• Health insurance
• Staff discounts
• Gift cards or allowances

…it’s worth checking whether the tax treatment is still correct under the new rules.

📩 DFK OGC can help you review your employee benefits and ensure you’re applying the right FBT treatment with confidence.

📢 FBT changes are now in effect from April 2026

New rules mean some employee benefits can be treated differently—giving businesses more flexibility, but also more complexity.

👉 Swipe through for a quick overview of what’s changed.
