About Us
Elite Taxation is an IRD-registered tax accounting firm headquartered at 18 Allright Place, Mount Wellington, Auckland. We were founded with a simple mission: give New Zealand's small businesses, rental property investors, and rideshare drivers access to expert accounting, at affordable price.
Shubam Sharma, the director of Elite Taxation, leads a team of qualified accountants with deep expertise in NZ tax law, GST compliance, provisional tax and IRD correspondence. Over the years, we have built a reputation for being genuinely approachable — the kind of accountants you can actually call when you have a question, not just once a year at return time.
We're based in East Auckland but work with clients across South Auckland, Manukau, Papatoetoe, Henderson and throughout the rest of New Zealand. Most of our work is done remotely — you send us your documents, we handle the rest. It's simple, secure, and stress free.
We use Xero and MYOB accounting platforms and stay up to date with every change IRD makes. When tax rules shift — like the recent interest deductibility changes for rental properties, or updated rules for rideshare drivers — we make sure our clients know what it means for them before it becomes a problem.
We focus on three areas where New Zealanders most often overpay or get it wrong. Fixed prices, no hidden charges, handled by qualified accountants.
01 / 05 GST returns, year-end accounts, payroll, and IRD filing — all handled at a fixed annual price so you can focus on running your business.
02 / 05 Navigate NZ's rental tax rules — ring-fencing, interest deductibility, chattel depreciation — and make sure you're not paying more than you legally need to.
03 / 05 We file tax returns for 1,500+ Uber & DiDi across NZ every year. Self-employed? We'll make sure you claim everything — and never overpay.
04 / 05 Clean books, accurate GST returns, and monthly financial reporting — so your business always knows where it stands and the IRD never has a reason to ask questions.
05 / 05 From individual income tax to company returns and provisional tax — we handle your full tax obligations and communicate directly with IRD on your behalf.
Not sure which service you need? We'll work it out together — first consultation is free.
We have a young, creative, skilled team. We are an accounting and business consulting firm specialising in helping ambitious small to medium business owners in New Zealand. Elite Taxation is more than just an accounting firm. We’re your partners in growth, dedicated to helping your business flourish. If you’re looking for the best accountants in Auckland who truly understand your needs, then Elite Taxation is here to help. Our team is always ready to offer you consulting & any necessary help with your individual and company’s taxation and other accounting requirements.
We quote a fixed fee before any work starts. No hourly billing, no time-tracking surprises. What we quote is exactly what you pay — clear invoices, honest billing, every single time. Most clients tell us this is the first reason they switched to us, and the main reason they stay.
As IRD-registered agents, we're authorised to file tax returns and handle all Inland Revenue correspondence directly on your behalf. If the IRD ever has a question about your return, we deal with them — you don't have to face Inland Revenue alone.
We don't try to be everything to everyone. We focus specifically on small business accounting, rental property tax, and rideshare driver returns — three areas where NZ tax rules are nuanced and easy to get wrong. That deep focus means better outcomes for you.
When you call or email, a real qualified accountant responds — not a chatbot, not an offshore call centre. We typically reply within one business day. When tax time gets stressful, you'll know exactly who to contact and you'll actually hear back.
Our office is in Mount Wellington, East Auckland — but we work with clients in Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Tauranga, and every corner of New Zealand, fully online with secure document handling. You get the same quality service regardless of where you are in NZ.
Elite Taxation holds active memberships in two of New Zealand's most respected professional bodies — a commitment to verified standards, accountability, and ongoing professional development.
Working with a tax accountant should be simple. Here’s how our process works from first enquiry to filed return.
Free consultation – First, we review your situation (rideshare, business or rental) and our experts answer your initial tax questions.
Secure document collection – You send us income, expense and IRD details through email or our secure channels.
Preparation & review – We prepare your tax returns, GST and financials, then we review them and make sure you claim all eligible deductions.
Filing & ongoing support – We file with IRD on time, respond to IRD queries and give you a reminder for your upcoming tax dates.

We’ve worked with hundreds of clients across Auckland and New Zealand. Here’s what some of them say about working with Elite Taxation:
Here's a quick overview of who we typically work with — and what their biggest accounting challenges tend to be.
You drive for a living — you shouldn't have to be a tax expert too. We help rideshare and delivery drivers understand their obligations, file accurate returns, and claim every deduction they're entitled to under NZ law. Most drivers we work with get a better outcome than they expected once we identify what they've been missing.
Trades, retail, logistics, IT, beauty, hospitality — we work across a wide range of industries. If you run a business that needs to stay on top of GST, payroll, and year-end accounts without spending hours on it, we're built for you. We take the admin off your plate so you can focus on actually running your business.
From a single Auckland rental property to a multi-property portfolio, we help landlords understand their tax obligations, maximise legitimate deductions, and stay compliant with NZ's evolving rental property tax rules. Whether you're dealing with ring-fencing losses, chattel depreciation, or understanding the current mortgage interest rules, we've seen it all.
Yes. Many rideshare drivers miss legitimate deductions or do not keep the right records, which can lead to paying more tax than necessary or facing IRD questions later. A tax accountant makes sure your income, mileage and expenses are recorded correctly and that your return is accurate.
Yes. While we are based in Auckland, we work with clients all over New Zealand using phone, email and online meetings. You get the benefits of an Auckland tax accountant without needing to visit our office.
Typically we need your IRD number, income details (rideshare summaries, invoices, rent received), bank statements and expense records. We will send you a checklist tailored to your situation before we begin.
An IRD-registered tax agent is authorised by Inland Revenue to file tax returns and correspond with the IRD directly on your behalf. This means if there’s ever a query or issue with your return, your agent handles it — you don’t have to deal with IRD yourself. Elite Taxation is an IRD-registered tax agent, which also gives our clients extended filing deadlines in most cases.
Most individual and rideshare driver returns are completed within 3–5 business days once we receive your documents. Business returns with more complexity take around 10 business days. We can accommodate urgent requests — just let us know your deadline when you get in touch.
You must register for GST when your taxable income exceeds $60,000 in any 12-month period. This applies to rideshare drivers, small business owners, and landlords who provide short-term accommodation (like Airbnb). You can also register voluntarily below that threshold, which allows you to claim back GST on business expenses. We can advise on whether voluntary registration makes sense for your situation.
