Tax Traders + Taxi

Tax Traders, a leading New Zealand fin-tech company and IRD-approved tax pooling intermediary, was founded in 2012 by Josh and Nicola Taylor. Guided by two core beliefs – making the New Zealand tax benefits accessible to all Kiwi businesses and using business as a force for good – we empower 800+ accounting firms and hundreds of corporates with software that enhances efficiency, profitability, and flexibility in provisional tax payments.

In March 2024, we launched Taxi, a groundbreaking fin-tech solution addressing cash flow challenges by offering affordable working capital secured against provisional tax. Taxi embodies our founding vision: ensuring every taxpayer, not just big businesses, benefits from the tax system.
