Dealing with Inland Revenue is a major part of our business – and also of our clients – accountants, lawyers and taxpayers.

With 24 years of experience, our professional view is that IRD staff mainly do a reasonable job, sometimes under trying circumstances.

However when IRD ‘get it wrong’ they really get it wrong,

• raising and sticking to unsustainable technical arguments,
• dragging audits out for years when they should take a few weeks at most,
• being extremely reluctant to acknowledge as such, and
• signing up to very little in the way of measurable standards.

We comment on some of these issues in the links below.

• IRD audits and communications
• Audits of owner-operated business
• IRD agreed adjustment forms - don't sign them
• IRD use of email and electronic spreadsheets
