Excess imputation credits carried forward.

[kerryo]

Assuming you get withholding tax deducted from your scheduler payment work and your tax affairs are in order you can apply for an exemption certificate from IRD to give to your employer/client so they stop deducting tax. Then you can fully use the imputation credits but might also end up with a bit of tax to pay at the end of the year as it has not been deducted at source.

Thanks Aaron, IRD neglected to tell me that when I rang to discuss the situation.

Or you could reduce your withholding tax rate so you don't end up with a big tax bill at the end of the year, you just have less tax deducted at source.
