Taxi NZ

24/08/2026

A good day for the tax people!

Taxi and Tax Traders are finalists for Small Workplace at the Best Places to Work™ Awards, and in two new Spotlight categories — Wellbeing and Purpose in Action.

We spend our days trying to take the dread out of provisional tax. Turns out that's much easier when the people doing it aren't carrying much dread of their own.

Winners announced Thursday 22 October. We'll report back after the night!

Big thanks to .events for putting on a great event yesterday. We were so proud to see Nicola absolutely kill her talk on stage, all about the stories we tell ourselves.

A great day connecting with business owners keen to bring a bit of positivity into what they do.

And a massive shout-out to the Revved crew for all the mahi behind the scenes. Events like this really matter to business owners in Aotearoa, playing a vital role in strengthening the business community in NZ.

Good news for Kiwi businesses: our interest rate has dropped from 5.90% p.a. to 5.40% p.a.

We know every percentage point matters when you’re managing cash flow. This change means your funding costs less, and your plans can move faster.

Already using Taxi? You can secure the new rate by repaying your current drawdown and accessing funds again – all from your dashboard.

Unlock affordable business funding at about half the rate of a big bank overdraft, with Taxi.

Traditional finance leaves gaps for New Zealand SMEs, and start-ups are filling these gaps. Our new partnership with Bizzy closes even more of them.

Now, your business can access affordable funding from Taxi, through Bizzy's intuitive and accessible marketplace. Finally, a more dignifying process that respects your time.

Returning to the shortlist reflects the way we run things – simple processes, clear priorities and a steady focus on continuous improvement and making the workplace a place of joy and love.

Every growing business faces tough moments; the challenge is turning those moments into momentum.

Our co-founder, Josh Taylor, recently sat down with Simplicity's Money Made Simple podcast to share the real story behind Taxi, and how overcoming cash flow hurdles helped shape both his journey and our company.

Josh talks candidly about:
• Why he never pictured himself working in tax, and how it changed the way he thinks about business.
• The cash flow crunch that led to rethinking how funding could work for Kiwi businesses.
• How grit, setbacks, and staying close to customers create real opportunities for growth.
• The origin of Taxi, and how partnership with Simplicity’s Private Equity Fund has helped us deliver smarter funding options for New Zealand businesses.
• Advice for business owners: when to back yourself, and when it pays to look at things differently.

A bit of news from us: Nicola Taylor, our co-founder, has just been named a finalist in the NZ Hi-Tech Awards 🙌

She’s in the running for the Datacom Hi-Tech Inspiring Individual award, which is huge — but if you know Nicola, you’ll know she sees this as a recognition for all of Taxi, not just herself.

This is really about our work together — helping Kiwi businesses access affordable business funding, grow on their terms, and stop cash flow from holding them back.

We’re proud of what we’re building and thrilled to see that work getting recognised.

Go, Nicola! 👏
