At Tax Traders, innovation isn’t just a corporate buzzword – it’s embedded in everything we do. More than just technology, it’s about understanding how your needs as an accountant are evolving and delivering solutions that simplify your workflow. Every new feature, every smart tool, every advancement is designed to help you eliminate barriers, streamline your workflow and achieve the best outcomes for your clients.

Listening, adapting and leading the way has always been central to our approach. Whether it’s the customisable payment options that you can tailor to suit your clients’ requirements, an advanced platform that provides everything you need to deliver solutions for your clients or the creation of ProvCheck to streamline your provisional tax workflow, we continuously seek smarter, more efficient ways to support you and your clients’ tax payment requirements.

Now, we’ve taken another leap forward with two landmark developments: our approved integration as an Inland Revenue (IR) digital services provider and ISO 27001 certification for data security.

Together, these milestones reaffirm our position as New Zealand’s leading tax pooling provider and add further milestones to our ongoing legacy as the acknowledged technology leader in the industry.

IR digital services provider

Our direct integration with IR as an approved digital services provider builds on an innovation that Tax Traders introduced to the marketplace almost five years earlier. It also recognises the technology aspect of our role with IR. We are a key player in the tax technology landscape, no longer just a ‘tax pooling provider’.

In 2020, Tax Traders became the first tax pooling provider to offer direct integration of your clients’ IR data into our online portal via our partnership with TaxLab. That was a game changer, as it enabled you to see your clients’ tax pooling transactions and their IR position in one integrated view. This also supported the automatic, one-click finalisation of a year-end, as all the data required to complete the transactions your client required were integrated within our market-leading tools. Prior to this, getting a complete view of clients’ tax positions relied on manual data handling, email trails and time-consuming reconciliation – far from a seamless experience.

But when our IR data integration was released, things became quick and painless. You could now calculate residual income tax positions for your clients accurately and easily set up payment plans to reduce their exposure to IR use-of-money interest and late payment penalties if tax was underpaid.

Of course, that was just the beginning.

Our direct integration with IR takes things to the next level, as it opens the door to additional features and capabilities that will further revolutionise your tax workflow experience.

We are developing an ongoing range of new products powered by this technology, delivering even greater efficiency, flexibility and value to accountants and tax professionals. By harnessing our direct connection to IR, we’re creating smarter, faster and more seamless solutions that make tax pooling accessible to more of your clients. If you are not already benefiting from ProvCheck in your firm, reach out to the Tax Traders team to see why ProvCheck is rapidly becoming the preferred method of preparing provisional tax notices with firms all across the country. Watch this space for more.

At Tax Traders, we take our role as stewards of your clients’ data seriously. That’s why becoming the first (and so far, only) tax pooling provider to achieve ISO 27001 information security certification matters just as much as product development or IR data integration.

Innovation, coupled with security and trust

While innovation is critical, security and trust remain non-negotiables in the world of tax and in everything we do.

Whenever you transact with us, you can do so safe in the knowledge that we are using robust, internationally recognised best practices to effectively manage and safeguard your clients’ commercially sensitive information.

This internationally recognised certification validates that the information systems and processes developed by Tax Traders to safeguard your financial and personal information adhere to global best practices. Our ISO 27001 certification was achieved following an independent audit by global systems auditor British Standards Institution.

We view this certification not as a check box, but as an enabler of trust, resilience and continuous improvement. Our approach to security goes beyond technology – it’s embedded in our culture, processes and DNA.

You and your clients deserve the best when entrusting Tax Traders with sensitive data and that’s exactly what you get every time you transact with us. We recognise the trust you are placing in us to protect information to the highest standard so that it is not compromised.

ISO 27001 certification is not the end of our journey – it’s a continuation of the system security work we’re doing to safeguard financial and personal information.

We remain committed to ongoing improvement, investment and transparency in how we manage and protect information.
