Providing gifts or vouchers to your staff is a great gesture, but make sure you keep an eye on the 'de minimis' exemption limits. These unclassified benefits are usually exempt from Fringe Benefit Tax if they don't exceed $300 per employee per quarter or $22,500 total for the year. Keeping accurate records of these small perks is the best way to avoid unnecessary tax costs. Was this tip helpful for your business planning?

April is right around the corner with some fresh payroll changes for Hawke's Bay businesses. The new financial year introduces an ACC Earners' Levy increase to 1.67% and a jump in the minimum KiwiSaver employer contribution to 3.5%. Taking a quick look at your first April pay run will confirm your software has updated correctly and prevent any compliance headaches later. Are you feeling ready for the 2026/27 tax year?

Don't assume your property sale is tax-free just because you slept there. The 'Main Home' exclusion only applies if you used more than half the property area as your home for at least 50% of the time you owned it. Selling within two years of buying can lead to a surprise tax bill if you miss these details. Did you know about the specific area and time requirements for this tax exclusion?
