From spreadsheet to GDPro
Where the work goes when you switch.
BEFORE GDPRO
Distribution week, manually
- Cross-check thousands of owners against the MLC deceased registers — by hand
- Work out NRWT and RWT per owner in Excel, then check it again before payroll
- Hope the spreadsheet totals match the bank direct-credit file
- Dig out a paper trail when an owner asks about a payment from five years ago
WITH GDPRO
Distribution day, done by lunchtime
- A 12,000-owner distribution runs in minutes — life-interest and successions handled
- Correct NRWT and RWT applied per owner, automatically, to the rules in force that day
- Bank direct-credit file generated and ready to upload to ANZ, BNZ and others
- Every transaction logged with a full audit trail — searchable, years later
We have been encouraging owners to bring their enquiries to us for the last three years but as we didn’t control the Share Register this was not always effective. “Having regular contact with the Iwi is important to our office, as it keeps us grounded and to that end we investigated moving the Share Register from GHA, Accountants and running this ourselves.”
Following an investigation into options and also to continue to drive reduced costs, we have found a very robust Computer system, named GD Pro which will enable us to maintain the register and update successions and other transactions. Audit reports are able to be generated to ensure that every entry is traceable. This will mean considerable savings for us as, with our ever growing ownership list, comes greater administration costs and much of this has been alleviated by using our existing staff to do this.We were fortunate that through our Committee of Management member Kiriwaitingi Rei, we were able to see this program demonstrated at the Maori Investment Ltd office who have the same program, they are using it to help them trace owners, create effective methods to deal shareholders who have very small shares and make their AGMs more efficient.
Whilst it will take time to reach that level of detail in the short-term we should be able to deal with a number of anomalies in the Share Register such as, deceased owners, incorrect spelling, owners with multiple names and tracing unclaimed money to reduce this.
WHAT GDPRO DOES FOR YOU
DISTRIBUTION
FAST AND COMPLIANT
Pay thousands of land owners in under a minute. GDPro applies NRWT (non-resident withholding tax), RWT (resident withholding tax), and Māori Authority Distribution rules automatically — the right tax comes off the right payment, every time.
IR ELECTRONIC FILING
NO MANUAL RETURNS
GDPro files Māori Authority Distributions, Credits, RWT and NRWT electronically to Inland Revenue. No spreadsheets, no manual returns, no missed deadlines.
PAYMENTS
STRAIGHT INTO ONLINE BANKING
GDPro builds direct-credit files you import straight into your bank — no typing payments one by one. Major NZ banks supported, including ANZ and BNZ, for both NZ and international payments.
RECONCILIATION
CHECKS AND BALANCES
Mark payments as presented or cancelled in one click. Cancelled payments return funds to the owner’s record automatically — balances always reconcile.
SUCCESSION
SIMPLE AND TRACEABLE
Record successions to future generations with a full transaction history and audit log. Handles life-interest rules and remaindermen (the Māori Land Court term for those who inherit shares once the life interest ends).
MULTI BLOCK
ONE OWNER, MANY BLOCKS
Owners descended from multiple land blocks aren’t a problem. GDPro handles cross-block ownership cleanly — one owner record, every block they belong to.
SCANNED DOCUMENTS, AUTO-LINKED
NO EXPENSIVE DOC SYSTEM NEEDED
Drag and drop scanned documents straight onto an owner record — GDPro links them automatically. No separate document-management system to license or learn.
