IRD Risk Review Support – Expert Liaison & Defense

Protect your business from tax audits with professional IRD risk review management and voluntary disclosure support.

IRD Risk Review

An IRD Risk Review helps businesses identify potential tax compliance issues before they become serious problems. Our service involves a detailed assessment of your financial records, tax filings, and reporting practices to ensure everything aligns with current Inland Revenue requirements. We carefully analyze transactions, deductions, and declared income to detect any inconsistencies or areas of concern. By conducting a proactive review, we help reduce the likelihood of penalties, audits, or unexpected liabilities. Our team provides clear recommendations to correct errors, strengthen internal processes, and improve overall tax compliance. With our professional support, you can confidently manage your tax obligations while minimizing financial and regulatory risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our accounting and tax services.

A Risk Review is an initial IRD examination of your tax records (Income Tax or GST) to identify errors. It's less formal than a full audit but equally rigorous. If significant issues are found during a review, it may escalate to a full Tax Audit under section 141G(1) of the Tax Administration Act 1994.
Yes, if the IRD discovers significant discrepancies during the Risk Review, they may escalate the matter to a comprehensive Tax Audit. This is why professional representation from the start is crucial to manage the process correctly.
Contact us immediately. Don't ignore the letter or try to handle it alone. Time is critical – we can request extensions if needed and ensure your response is properly prepared to protect your interests.
Risk Reviews can vary from a few weeks to several months depending on the complexity and the information requested. We work to expedite the process while ensuring thorough preparation of all documentation.
Voluntary disclosure before IRD discovers errors typically results in significantly reduced penalties. We guide you through the disclosure process to achieve the best possible outcome while maintaining full compliance.
Yes, we specialize in managing voluntary disclosures. We assess the situation, prepare all necessary documentation, and liaise with IRD to minimize penalties while ensuring complete rectification of any issues.
Costs are specific to each case scope and complexity. We provide a clear quote after reviewing your IRD correspondence and understanding the full scope of the review. There are no hidden fees.
