What is tax pooling?
Tax pooling is a legal way to manage your provisional tax — and it’s what makes Taxi possible.
Instead of sending your provisional tax straight to IRD, your payment goes into a shared "tax pool" held by IRD-approved Tax Traders. Your tax still counts as being 'paid', but it gives you far more flexibility.
Because your payment sits in the pool (not directly with IRD), you can:
-
Access cash funding through Taxi using your tax as security
-
Send your tax to IRD later without being late
-
Top up, swap or move your payments if things change
In short, tax pooling gives you more control over when and how your tax is paid, while still keeping everything above board with IRD.
Why does it matter?
Taxi is built on tax pooling. It’s the reason we can help you free up cash without your company falling behind on your tax.
The result?
Your tax still gets paid to IRD on time, but you get to use that cash for your business in the meantime.
