Business and Tax Updates March 2026: IBBZ Accounting

Summary:

As we reach the end of March 2026, the focus is firmly on the 31 March financial year-end. This is a critical time for businesses and individuals to finalise their financial position, ensure all compliance obligations are met, and prepare for income tax return filing.

With the balance date now here, it is important to complete final reconciliations, review year-to-date performance, and ensure that key areas such as provisional tax, GST, payroll, and cashflow are accurately recorded. Timely action at this stage helps avoid last-minute issues, penalties, and unnecessary stress.

As Inland Revenue increases its focus on overdue returns and outstanding tax positions, ensuring that filings and payments are up to date is essential. Key upcoming deadlines, including terminal tax (7 April) and provisional tax (7 May), should also be considered as part of your cashflow planning.
