Eastmure & Associates
Accounting built for medical professionals
Company structures, ACC levy reviews, locum tax, and year-round planning — for GPs, specialists, and doctors across New Zealand.
Why it matters
Your tax situation is different from most small business owners
Most accountants handle a wide range of clients. That's fine for straightforward situations — but doctors, GPs, and specialists face a set of decisions that generalist accountants rarely deal with day-to-day.
ACC levy classifications, the choice between sole trader and company structures, locum income, and shareholder salary vs dividend decisions all have a material impact on what you take home. Getting them wrong — or simply not optimising — costs real money.
- ACC levy misclassification is common and expensive
- Company structure affects your tax rate and asset protection
- Locum income has specific GST and provisional tax rules
- Shareholder salary vs dividend affects KiwiSaver and ACC

Services for medical professionals
Company structure advice
Sole trader, company, or look-through company — we help you choose the structure that minimises tax and protects your assets.
ACC levy reviews
Most medical professionals are classified incorrectly and overpay. We review your levy classification and challenge it where there are grounds.
Locum and contractor tax
Locum income has specific GST and provisional tax implications. We make sure you're compliant and not paying more than you need to.
Shareholder salary vs dividend
Getting the balance right between salary and dividends affects your tax rate, KiwiSaver, and ACC levies. We model the optimal split for your situation.
Practice setup and advisory
Starting or growing a practice? We advise on structure, GST registration, Xero setup, and ongoing compliance from day one.

Not just end-of-year filing — we work with you throughout the year to manage provisional tax, reduce surprises, and plan ahead.
