Impact of Zero Hour Contracts on Tax Returns

Impact of Zero Hour Contracts on Tax Returns

WooHoo NZ Tax Refunds welcomes the recent announcement by Restaurant Brands that ‘zero hour’ contracts will no longer be offered to employees.

According to WooHoo NZ Tax Refunds, many of their customers who are owed a tax refund are those on zero hour contracts who over pay tax throughout the year due to irregular income.

Cilla Hegarty from NZ Tax Refunds says other common reasons people are entitled to a tax refund is that they may have been using the wrong tax code, their circumstances may have changed, they may have been overseas for a period, or changed their family situation. The 2015 tax season is now open and hard-working Kiwis should apply for their tax refund by the end of May to ensure they get payment in mid-June.

“Over 90% of people who come to us have overpaid their tax. The average refund is over $400 and with the 2015 tax season now open we encourage people to contact us and confirm they still want us to be their tax agent,” said Cilla Hegarty, founder and CEO of WooHoo NZ Tax Refunds.

The quickest way to claim a tax refund with WooHoo NZ Tax Refunds requires a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Within 60 seconds of completing the online tax refund application form, you’ll know how much your refund will be*.

The WooHoo app and website allows refunds to be processed in real time with the Inland Revenue, making applying for WooHoo tax refunds even smarter, easier, and faster.

WooHoo NZ Tax Refund’s fees are 100% tax deductible, which means you can claim the expense against your income in the following year. If you’re not owed a tax refund, then there’s no fee.
