    How does the RIT tool work?

    Enter the RIT or specific payment amounts into our RIT tool and any payments made to or credits in the client’s IR account for the tax year concerned. The RIT tool takes into account any transfers from the tax pool from settled tax finance or buys, as well as any finance or buys on invoice (with the option to exclude these from the final calculation).

    It also will recognise any deposits in the pool, allowing you to select which deposits are utilised. If there are deposit surpluses you can determine how you would like these applied.

    The RIT Summary will specify the tax required at each provisional date and funds will be apportioned accordingly. If there are shortfalls, the necessary tax purchases will be automatically lodged.

    Benefits

    • Ensures amounts transferred to IR are the right amount and at the right date - we stand behind our calculators.
    • Prevents use-of-money interest charges and late payment penalties being applied.
    • Completes swaps automatically online – quickly, efficiently and accurately.
    • All debit and credit interest is removed, leaving you with a single easy payment.

    Criteria

    • When swapping a deposit, you are selling the surplus deposit tax credits and purchasing tax credits at the correct date. The swapped funds become purchased funds as a result and can only be used to satisfy income tax obligations for current periods.
    • Purchased tax credits must be completed and transferred to IR within 75 days of your client’s terminal tax date.
