Mytax.Co.Nz –‘Getting You And Your Money Back Together’

Announcement posted by My Tax 28 Oct 2015

Leading the way again, the innovative and creative team at MyTax.co.nz last year came up with an ‘easy to use’ iPhone app for tax refunds. This state-of-the-art thinking means that MyTax.co.nz is the first tax refund company in New Zealand to release a Tax Refund App that works in real time on the Apple App Store. At the time they asked users to forward any suggestions on to them as to how the app could be improved, with the result that it is even ‘easier to use’ than before, meaning that the convenience and ease of using the MyTax.co.nz App has encouraged more people than ever to access the tax system. Using the MyTax.co.nz App is an easy and convenient way to interact with the tax system, with 40 per cent of refunds now being sought from mobile devices, and continued growth is occurring.

MyTax.co.nz is one of three online tax refund businesses that command more than 90 per cent of the market and there are now around a quarter of a million more refunds issued by number than before the online tax refund industry was born. However, as Lester Binns, chief executive of MyTax.co.nz says, there is still growth potential, as around a million people are neither applying directly to the taxman to see if they are due a refund, or using one of the tax refund websites to do it for them. Binns said after six years in business his company was facilitating tax refunds of $500,000 per week for customers, but he is at pains to let people know that the IRD only allows tax refund companies to access back five years, which makes it even more important for people to apply for a refund, if they haven’t already done so. After five years, any tax refund they may have been eligible for will automatically and forever go back to Treasury! This is why it is even more important to employ a company like MyTax.co.nz to ensure this doesn’t happen.

Another thing that people may not realise is that nine out of ten MyTax customers have generally paid too much tax on their hard-earned income over the last five years, which is all the more reason to be ‘on the ball’ and get in touch with the MyTax.co.nz team. People often ask when is the best time to apply to see if they are eligible for a tax refund and the answer is now! Go to http://www.mytax.co.nz  today for your tax refund.
