Overseas Investment in New Zealand

Investors, both institutional/corporate and private around the world are increasingly attracted to New Zealand which offers substantial benefits to offshore parties interested in:

• investing in land or business in a balanced economy with valuable natural resources and stable government.
• emigrating to a country that is clean and safe.
• shifting assets to a favourable tax jurisdiction.

From a tax perspective New Zealand's relatively foreign-friendly tax regime is highly attractive, particularly as the world's traditional tax havens are subject to increasing scrutiny by taxation authorities worldwide.

We provide high quality advice on investing in, and shifting wealth to New Zealand.

We have expertise in relation to:

• Acquisitions and dispositions of New Zealand shares, business assets and properties.
• New Zealand's overseas investment laws.
• Investment vehicles such as:
  • limited partnerships

  • New Zealand managed trusts
  • New Zealand complying and non-complying trusts.

We also enjoy strong relationships with experts in the fields of taxation, accounting and immigration enabling us to obtain high quality advice where required.
