With the IRD signalling that they will be targeting “cashies” and take a harder view of overdue tax debt for construction sector businesses, it’s never been more vital to get your cashflow sorted.
The IRD release suggests they are aware of an increasing number of construction businesses doing “cashies” and will be looking to crackdown on these businesses, threatening legal action and pursuing those with overdue tax debt.
Their parting message to tradies was “Do the right thing and get your outstanding debt and returns sorted now.”
While cashies may seem like a harmless way of boosting cash in your pocket, the real effect on your businesses cashflow can be devastating.
You see for every job you do as a “cashy” your business misses out on cashflow to pay for materials & labour (and tax), you can’t credit check the individual or company you are doing work for, and you can’t send unpaid “cashies” for collection if things go wrong.
This can quickly lead to a debt spiral and the lack of cashflow can kill a business.
While tax compliance is not our business, we can help with your cashflow. Which in turn can help you meet your compliance obligations.
Your terms should clearly set out what happens if there’s a dispute, cover your costs for collection if things go wrong and give you permission to complete a credit check on your new customer.
Take the guesswork out of onboarding new customers. Our credit reports will give you everything you need to know to make an informed decision as to the credit worthiness of your new customers.
Lodge your overdue debts at 90 days. Our experience suggests that the earlier a debt is loaded for collection the higher the chance we can collect it for you and get cash back in your bank account.
Your local business support specialist can assess your situation and provide recommendations on the best credit management solution for you.
