Built by property tax specialists
Casary was originally built for NZ International Tax and Property Advisors (NZTP) as an internal software tool for their clients. Given strong interests from NZTP’s prospects to use the software, we are releasing Casary to external users. We anticipate Casary to be used by other property accountants in the near future.
Casary will continue building the software with NZTP to ensure the software is compliant with New Zealand tax laws.

FAQs
How much does Casary cost?

If you need additional support, such as reviewing the return before lodgement with IRD or preparing and filing the return on your behalf by our in-house property tax specialists, contact us and we can provide these services to you for an additional fee.
Which year of the NZ income tax return can I start using Casary?
We expect to launch Casary around 2024/2025.
You can start using Casary for the 2025 and future NZ income tax returns.
However, if we launch sooner, you can use Casary for your 2024 NZ income tax return. If you’d like to be posted re software update and gaining early access, please sign up to our mailing list.
Can I seek support from my existing accountant instead of Casary's property tax specialists?
Absolutely! We plan to design Casary so it is accessible and usable for all accountants.
Can I use Casary if I derive other sources of income in addition to rental income?
Depends on what type of income you derive.
If you derive NZ sourced income where tax is deducted at source, the taxable income and withheld tax will automatically be feed through to Casary from your IRD records which will be straight forward.
If you derive NZ sourced income where tax is not deducted at source or overseas sourced income, there may or may not be complexity in calculating the taxable income. Hence, we suggest you consult with a Casary property tax specialist or a tax accountant to ensure the correct figures are entered into Casary prior to filing with the Inland Revenue.
