=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Karen Says
This weeks non-music industry "tip" - if you have anything to include in this section - let me know!
Another highly boring tip this week but very useful as it saves on time you need to spend dealing with various govt depts! The Companies Office and Inland Revenue have launched a new service allowing you to apply for a company IRD number and register for GST when you
incorporate a new company online with the Companies Office. The IRD number and GST confirmation will be sent to you with the Certificate of Incorporation via email from the Companies Office at the time of incorporation. www.companies.govt.nz
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
Open Mics and Jams
I only include additions or changes in this section these days. All other known open mics are at http://www.temple.co.nz/Temple_OpenMics.htm. If there are any errors in the listing on the website or anything you'd like to add - please email me at karen@temple.co.nz
