When to use this service:
You can apply for a certificate of exemption from PAYE (formerly withholding tax) if you:
** are in business
** receive schedular payments that are subject to a prescribed rate of tax under Schedule 4 of the Income Tax Act 2007
** have a good tax compliance history with Inland Revenue. This means returns are filed and payments are made on time. As an employer, this also means that the correct tax codes are used for employees ie, if an employee doesn’t provide a tax code declaration, then tax is deducted at the no-notification rate of 30 cents in the dollar.
If you’re a non-resident contractor please write to us at Private Bag 39984, Wellington or call us on 04 890 3056.
Horticulture and viticulture industries:
From 1 April 2006 companies operating in the horticulture and viticulture industries have been able to apply for a certificate of exemption from tax on schedular payments.
From 1 April 2010 any type of contractor (individual, partnership, trust or company) is required to have schedular payments deducted when providing work or services for the supply of labour, or mainly for labour on land in connection with:
** fruit crops
** orchards
** vegetables, or
** vineyards.
This does not include work or services by a:
** post-harvest facility
** management entity under a formal management agreement under which the entity is responsible for payment for the work or services provided.
Example:
Company A provides services under a contract which involves a high capital outlay (ie large use of machinery). As this contract is deemed to have a high capital outlay and low labour input, payments made to Company A in this circumstance will not have tax on schedular payments deducted. However, if the use of the machinery was incidental, with the supply of labour making up most of the contract, then payments made to Company A for this contract would have tax on schedular payments deducted.
This means that individuals, trusts, partnerships or companies carrying out this type of work can apply for a certificate of exemption or a special tax code.
