Tax Debt Doesn’t Fix Itself

Tax debt is stressful, and it rarely improves on its own. Unpaid GST, PAYE or income tax attracts penalties and interest, and if it’s left unaddressed it can escalate to legal action, and even bankruptcy or liquidation.

The single biggest mistake is going quiet. The IRD responds far better to people who engage early, communicate honestly, and put forward a clear, credible plan.

The good news: you don’t have to face it unprepared.

A Smarter Way to Approach the IRD

We’ve taken the proven process our lawyers use to resolve tax debt and built it into David, our AI-assisted tool. It asks you the questions the IRD will want answered, in the right order, and helps you turn your answers into a structured proposal you can submit to Inland Revenue.

It’s the same methodology that has helped our clients negotiate write-offs of penalties, interest and, in some cases, core tax. That process is now available for you to prepare yourself, at a fraction of the cost of full legal representation.

Please note: Our AI-assisted fast-track is designed for simpler matters or lower tax debt thresholds. For larger or more complex cases, we highly recommend a personalised consultation as the essential first step.

Built on a Method that Works with the IRD

The IRD ultimately wants to maximise what it recovers. The strongest outcomes come from a proposal that is honest, transparent, well-evidenced and aligned with the tax rules. Our method focuses on three things:

  • Getting the facts straight. What happened, what went wrong, and why.

  • Understanding the underlying cause so that the problem is solved and doesn’t recur.

  • Presenting your circumstances against the relevant rules to support the best realistic outcome for you and the IRD.

What a Strong Proposal to the IRD Can Do

We regularly see the IRD willing to write off penalties and in some cases interest and core tax. The IRD can even agree to instalment arrangements that spread historical debt over time, where the proposal is credible and well presented.

Every situation is different and no outcome is guaranteed, but going to IRD prepared puts you in the strongest possible position to achieve the best result.

Built by Law’s Tax Debt Specialists

Our tool is built on the experience of a specialist insolvency and tax debt team that actively negotiates with the IRD every week.
