Registered Tax Agents - what are they?

Why should you choose a Tinz Member?

TINZ members can help you with your taxation and accounting needs.

By choosing a TINZ member, you are automatically protected by a range of benefits and safeguards that may not be available to you otherwise.

TINZ members are one of only two professional bodies that have been granted "Approved Advisor Group Status" by the IRD.

So, taxpayers on our agency list who are up to date with filing their returns, have up to 31 March of the following year to file their income tax return instead of 7 July.

You have also extended dates for paying terminal tax and ACC levies (not Provisional Tax). Under the Privacy Act and the Income Tax Administration Act we must have your authorisation to act as your tax agent and hence the "statement" in the annual questionnaire must be signed.

Weight Loss in Women Can Reduce Urinary Incontinence







Reducing urinary incontinence can now be added to the long list of health benefits from weight loss, according to results from a new clinical trial.
Urinary incontinence is the unintentional release of urine. It affects more than 13 million women in the United States and accounts for an estimated $20 billion in annual health care costs. Incontinence can happen to anyone, but it’s more common in women and older people. Obesity has been linked to urinary incontinence in the past. However, conclusive evidence that losing weight can reduce urinary incontinence has been lacking.


The Program to Reduce Incontinence by Diet and Exercise (PRIDE) study was funded by NIH’s National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH). The researchers, led by Dr. Leslee L. Subak of the University of California, San Francisco, recruited 338 obese and overweight women who leaked urine at least 10 times per week. Half the women were randomly assigned to an intensive 6-month weight-loss program of diet, exercise and behavior modification. The other half received information about diet and exercise, but no training to help them change their habits.
The researchers reported in the January 29, 2009, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine that women in the intensive weight-loss group lost an average 8% of their body weight (about 17 pounds) over 6 months. The number of weekly urinary incontinence episodes among these women was reduced by half. In contrast, women in the information-only group lost an average 1.6% of body weight (about 3 pounds) and had 28% fewer episodes.
About 41% of the women in the weight-loss group achieved a clinically relevant reduction of at least 70% of total incontinence episodes per week, compared to 22% of women in the information-only group. Women in the weight-loss group were also significantly more satisfied with the change in their incontinence than women in the information-only group.
Losing weight is already known to lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels, as well as enhance mood and quality of life. “Our results suggest that a decrease in urinary incontinence is another health benefit associated with weight loss and that weight reduction can be a first-line treatment in overweight and obese women,” Subak said.

Execution Advantage

Why Trade at FXCM's
No Dealing Desk* aims to provide transparent and fair execution. Every trade is executed back to back with one of the world's premier banks or financial institutions, which compete to provide FXCM with bid and ask prices. The best spreads available to FXCM are streamed to you with a small markup, which is generally one pip or less for major currency pairs.FXCM
FXCM's trading volume, $500 billion worth of transactions monthly, may be among the largest sources of retail currency trades in the world. As a result, we have obtained close banking relationships with eight of the world's largest and most aggressive price providers. Having multiple price providers is especially important in volatile markets, when one or two banks may post wide spreads, or simply avoid quoting any price at all. With so many major banks quoting prices to FXCM, there are competitive spreads, even during market-moving news events. FXCM does not take a market position—eliminating a major conflict of interest. A dealing desk broker, which acts as a market maker, may be trading against your position. With our No Dealing Desk execution, however, we fill your orders from the best prices available to us from the banks. While an individual bank may try to skew its prices off the market, the unattractive price on the bid or ask side will lose the price competition and as a result, not factor into the prices streamed to you. At FXCM, prices are not subject to manipulation by a broker or a banks dealing desk. While our competitors are beginning to follow our example of offering No Dealing Desk execution, we have successfully implemented it. Excellent bid and ask prices are not meaningful unless you have a reliable trading platform to execute trades. Our trading platform is tested in all market conditions, routinely handling about 200,000 trades per day.While FXCM aims to provide clients with the best pricing available, having all orders filled at a requested rate means execution risks will remain
