Crypto gains? Make your tax bill easier
to manage

If you’ve been reassessed or made a voluntary disclosure and now have extra income tax to pay from your crypto trading, there’s good news.

 

Tax Traders may be able to help reduce your interest and eliminate late payment penalties, making things a lot less stressful.

Owing additional income tax can be costly

Once tax is overdue, Inland Revenue charges interest daily until the tax is paid.

Late payment penalties may also apply. For income tax, these penalties are generally applied as follows:

• A 1% penalty the day after your payment was due.
• A further 4% if the tax remains unpaid after seven days.

Over time, these charges can add up quickly – increasing the total amount you need to pay on top of the original tax bill.

How paying Tax Traders works

Tax Traders is an Inland Revenue-registered tax pooling provider.

We operate a tax pooling account that allows taxpayers to pool their provisional tax payments. Payments deposited in this account are date stamped at the time they are made and held at Inland Revenue.

If someone has underpaid their tax, they can purchase tax from someone who has overpaid into the pool and apply it against their own liability with Inland Revenue. 

Tax Traders facilitates the transaction between the two parties at interest rates that are much more favourable than Inland Revenue’s interest rates. 

This can make a significant difference when you’re facing a crypto-related tax bill in terms of reducing your interest cost and eliminating late payment penalties. 
  • 1
    You pay the tax amount (plus Tax Traders’ interest cost) to us.
  • 2
    We arrange for the date‑stamped tax you require to be transferred from our tax pool account to your Inland Revenue account.
  • 3
    Once Inland Revenue processes the transfer, it treats the tax as if it were paid on the original due date – removing any interest and late payment penalties showing on your account.
