RZ 5C: GST ratio method: new personal tax rate persons from 1 October 2008 to end 2009–10 income year
or “Temporary GST calculation method for people with new tax rates (2008-2010)”
You could also call this:

“Temporary provisional tax calculation rules for Maori authorities in 2011-12 and 2012-13”

This section explains how Maori authorities should calculate their provisional tax for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 income years. During this time, the rules that usually apply to new companies will also apply to Maori authorities, but with some changes.

When you’re figuring out how much provisional tax to pay, you’ll use the same rules as new companies. However, there are a few differences:

Instead of using 100% of last year’s tax to work out your payments, you’ll use 95%.

When looking at your tax from two years ago, you won’t increase it by 5%. You’ll just use the exact amount from two years ago.

If you’re using the GST ratio method to calculate your provisional tax, you’ll multiply your taxable supplies by 0.9 instead of 0.95.

These special rules are only for Maori authorities and only for those two specific years. They’re designed to help make the change to the new tax rules easier for you.
