New Zealand Offering Simpler, Cheaper Rulings For SMEs
New Zealand's Inland Revenue has begun to offer Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and individuals a simplified tax ruling process that is shorter and cheaper. The so-called short-process ruling service enables those taxpayers whose annual gross income is USD12.5m or less to get certainty on how tax law applies to their circumstances, in the form of a binding ruling from the tax agency.b
Short-process rulings are intended for individuals and small-to-medium sized businesses with significant transactions, or circumstances that have significant financial consequences.

Cybersecurity & data privacy trends in 2020
We all pay the price for transnational organised crime. In 2016-17, transnational organised crime cost Australians around $47 billion (almost $1,900 from your own pocket). To fight transnational organised crime, we’re combatting international syndicates to make it harder for these groups to operate and profit from their illegal activities.

Why being proactive is the key to effective cyber security
As an organization grows, its digital estate can evolve and increase in complexity at a significant rate. For many organizations, a cursory attempt at information security can be made by addressing common threats and implementing a number of off-the-shelf antivirus and anti-malware tools to keep threats at bay.
A conscientious company will also typically back this up with a solid business continuity plan – one that lays out a procedure for isolating and then ultimately restoring damaged systems, preparing forensic data and getting back to ‘business as usual’ as swiftly as possible. This reactive strategy is by no means a bad one, however it is important to include proactive elements in security strategy in order to be effective.
Preventative measures may be implemented as part of a business continuity plan but by failing to test and challenge those tools, software programs, and resources, it is almost impossible to identify where vulnerabilities exist and where a breach is most likely to occur. What is needed to enhance this security posture is a forward-thinking approach – one that is capable of addressing emerging attack strategies, unprecedented malware and zero-day vulnerabilities.
Being proactive against cyber attacks is about identifying and mitigating weaknesses and vulnerabilities on a regular basis. While a reactive information security strategy can feel like it is fit for purpose at a given time, the threat landscape is constantly shifting. It is necessary for organizations to appreciate that they cannot simply build their defences and sit tight.
