ACCforum: Tish - Viewing Profile - ACCforum

Having recently been required to engage with this team, so far I have found their staff to be snippy, lazy, lacking competence and some are just outright stupid. Their emails are being delivered to gmail spam folders, not any other ACC emails that I am aware of, just this assisted recovery team's mail.

If you are in communication with them and feel you should have received mail to a gmail account and didn't, check your spam folder online. Their system logs all outgoing comms and will show you were sent one even if you never received it and they can prove it. Don't jeopardise your paper trail by not checking or following up mail you expected and didn't receive.

They know they have an email problem, they called me to tell me why their reply never got to me when I contacted them to tell them I hadn't received their follow up confirmation email.

Once more, ACC can't manage the simple things.

I am having difficulty wrapping my head around IRD and taxation with regard to a backdated ERC payout.

I get IRD requiring top tax level for a very substantial sum when it is received, but I don't get why the payout isn't recalculated at the end of the tax year to reflect the number of tax years the payout covers, re-calculate each tax year as a standalone period and only require the tax appropriate to each tax year separately.

IRD insist that, despite the payout covering 5 tax years, the full taxation taken now at payout time will stand and they don't retrospectively recalculate a backdated sum to deal with each period as a separate year and refund to that level for each one.

That sort of messes with my head. Has anyone had such a case to comment on a course we can take at the end of this financial year to have each year calculated and taxed separately and the difference refunded? It's a shitload of extra tax. Any Act documentation that deals with this specifically? Do I get an accountant to sort it and would an accountant know how?

PS yes, after nearly 5 years, failed Review and a dickhead "advocate", better DC results and lots more faffing by ACC continuing to attempt to weasel out we have finally been successful. Just have to get past this IRD tax rort now...
