Faqs

Have a question?

Our friendly team is ready to help, or you can visit our support site more information!

What happens when I pay my provisional tax through Taxi?

Your provisional tax payments are held on your behalf by Government-owned Public Trust, in a tax pooling account at Inland Revenue.

How much business funding can I access with Taxi?

You can access as much or as little as you need, up to an amount equal to 90% of the provisional tax payments you have paid through Taxi in the previous 12 months.

Can I skip repayments?

You can skip repayments during the nine-month repayment period without incurring extra costs, so long as you catch up on those skipped repayments during the nine-month repayment period. Of course, if you repay the funds early, Taxi will reward you and provide you with a rebate.

What do businesses use Taxi for?

Our early stage research showed business owners wanted to use Taxi for expansion, purchasing vital machinery, managing delayed payments, and navigating seasonal dips in business. Business owners also told us they love the peace of mind that Taxi provides.

Do I need to tell my accountant I am using Taxi?

If you have an accountant, we think it’s a great idea to let them know you are using Taxi, but there is no requirement to do this.
