Everything you oughta know about IR Authority
As a Tax Agent or IR Registered Bookkeeper you must have a correct IR Authority before you link. IR community compliance officers can ask to see these at any time. 2Shakes has worked with the lovely people at Inland Revenue to create a detailed blog about all things IR authority (OS25/03) – it's a highly recommended read.
It takes you through a fictitious scenario of how IR Authority is captured for Mr and Mrs Hold, their company and their family trust. It ends with answers to a whole range of questions on IR Authorities. Check out the blog and if you do have any questions please contact support and we can help.
Agreement Font - Is it time for a refresh?
Did you know that 2Shakes has been creating PDF agreements and engagement letters for almost a decade! Since day one, our agreements have always been in the classical and formal Times New Roman font.
So we are wondering - is it time for a change?
We are interested in your opinion - should we change to the modern and minimalist Helvetica font style (sample on the left), or stick with the more classic Times New Roman (sample on the right).
