Tax season's coming up — does anyone else get a headache just thinking about IR3? 😅
I've put together a spreadsheet specifically for NZ sole traders, and it's just gone live on Etsy.
This template is designed exclusively for New Zealand tax residents — especially sole traders, freelancers, and the self-employed. It's built from the ground up for IRD:
✅ Enter your income and expenses in one place — everything else calculates automatically
✅ GST auto-calculated (including a $60k threshold reminder)
✅ IR3 box numbers all mapped out in the P&L Statement
✅ Provisional tax estimated across all three instalments
✅ Works on Google Sheets for free — no Excel subscription needed
One-time purchase — NZD $33.20 including GST. Cheaper than a single month of Xero, and you own it outright.

(This is a record-keeping tool, not tax advice — if your situation's complicated, it's still worth having a chat with your accountant. 😊)
