Hawke's Bay is talking tax today – and we wouldn't miss it.

As the exclusive tax pooling partner of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, TMNZ is proud to sponsor the CA ANZ Hawke's Bay Business Summit – and this morning our Chief Commercial Officer Matt Rama joined the panel for The Tax Outlook: What Business Needs to Know Now.
The conversation explored what resilient businesses are doing differently when it comes to managing tax and why cashflow and tax timing have never mattered more.

Great conversations, great region, great summit.

Every budget week, the noise is deafening. This morning, 1700+ of you joined us to cut through that noise.

Kelly Eckhold, Olivia Blaylock, Matt Edwards, Matt Rama and host Wilhelmina O'Keeffe went beyond the headlines and the political theatre to give you sharp honest takes on what actually matters for NZ businesses.

Surging oil prices, inflation risk, trade pressures, green shoots. The panel didn't hold back.

Missed it? The recording is already live.

What was your biggest takeaway from the Budget?

Budget day is tomorrow. What happens the morning after matters just as much.

Our CEO Matt Edwards wrote this month about what Budget 2026 needs to get right for New Zealand business - deeper investment incentives, a credible digital agenda, and less compliance friction holding businesses back. The opportunity is real. The question is whether this Budget backs it.

On Friday 29 May, 10–11am, we're hosting a free Budget Review webinar the morning after the announcements land. Westpac Chief Economist Kelly Eckhold leads the analysis, joined by business leaders including Olivia Blaylock (The Icehouse) and Matt Rama (TMNZ) - hosted by business journalist Wilhelmina O'Keeffe.

No spin. Just the numbers, what they mean, and what to do next.

🚗 Five cities into the Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand NZ Tax Roadshow – and hundreds of great conversations!

So far, we’ve met 124 practitioners across Whangarei, Invercargill, Dunedin, Cromwell and Christchurch, and celebrated with our 5 competition winners: 🏆 Rebecca Eastlake, Kelly Duffy, Stephanie Masson, Bryce Hannah and Kelly Hibbs.

And we’ve had excellent questions off the back of our presentation on tax debt - Inland Revenue NZ is stepping up collection on $9 billion in tax debt, and advisers across the South Island are clearly paying close attention. If you’re curious, see our tax debt FAQ’s here: ap1.hubs.ly/y0QVRL0

A big thank you to the CA ANZ NZ tax team for having us alongside them, it's been a brilliant start to the roadshow!

If you're joining us in the North Island over the coming weeks, come find the TMNZ team. If you’ve got real questions about real client situations, that’s exactly what we’re here for.
