Risk and Reward - Reduce the cost of paying late terminal, provisional tax
Anyone who has been hit hard by Inland Revenue (IRD) late payment penalties and use of money interest (UOMI) for unpaid or underpaid taxknows how crippling this can be. It’s the last thing you want to happen. However, using tax pooling to settle income tax liabilitiesreduces your exposure to late payment penalties and UOMI, meaningit is cheaper than paying the money directly to IRD. Tax pooling allows you to purchase tax from someonewho has overpaid and then apply that taxto meet your liabilities. As such, youcan eliminate IRD late payment penalties and significantly reduce UOMI costs by up to 30 percent.
