Year-based compliance details

The Agency, Return required and Extension in the Year-based compliance details section roll over from the previous tax year. The other year-based options will reset to the default. It's a good idea to check all compliance settings before you start a tax year.

You can also use the Compliance settings to check a client's IRD number. To view the IRD number in the Compliance settings page, select a client on your client sidebar, and click the Settings icon () on the top right of the page.

There are also a couple of other ways that you can check IRD numbers.

To edit Compliance settings

1. Select a client on your client sidebar, and click the Settings icon () on the top right of the page.

2. Under Compliance settings, click Edit. The fields in the Compliance settings become editable.
   

3. Edit the required fields:

   • Compliance settings:
     • Tax client – Answer Yes if you'll be filing this client's tax return and/or you want to receive IR data for this client.
     • IRD number – The client's 8 or 9-digit IRD number.
     • Balance month – The last month in your client's accounting year.

   • GST details:

     • GST Registered – Lets you identify which clients are registered for GST.
     • Agent prepares GST – Lets you identify if the agent prepares GST for the client.
     • GST taxable period – How often you file your GST returns. This value isn't automated or updated from IR.
     • Last month of GST period – Use in combination with GST taxable period to help you keep track of when GST returns are due. This value isn't automated or updated from IR.

   • Entity details – Entity-specific options for setting resident status and, depending on the entity, the company type.

   • • Expected filing date – Any transactions dated after this date won’t be included in the tax return and tax statement.

     • Initial provisional tax liability – Select Yes if this is the first yearthe taxpayer started to derive assessable income from a taxable activity. If you answer Yes, enter the Start date of taxable activity in the field that appears.

       When you file the return, the setting for the start date of taxable activity is sent to IR along with the total provisional tax amount.

     • Eligible for a 50/50 split of provisional tax in 20xx? – Select Yes if you want the client to pay provisional tax across two equal instalments instead of the usual three instalments.

       Excerpt

       UI Text Box type note The 50/50 split is also reflected in the tax return page and in the tax statement. If a tax notice or return already exists before you select Yes for this setting, the split is only reflected in the notice or return if they are still in progress and aren't locked. When you file the return, the 50/50 split setting isn't sent to IR. div class internalnote Excerpt included on https://help.myob.com/wiki/x/6iskAw
