Description
Stay ahead of Inland Revenue’s latest tax residency guidance and learn how to confidently navigate personal, corporate, and trust tax residence rules.
Determining whether an individual, company or trust is New Zealand tax resident (both under domestic law and for the purpose of any applicable double tax agreement) is critical for a number of reasons, including:
- Determining whether (and when) they are subject to New Zealand income tax on their worldwide income
- Determining whether they are entitled to relief from double taxation under a double tax agreement
- Determining whether an individual is eligible to be treated as a “transitional resident” and, if so, from when
This webinar examines Inland Revenue’s updated guidance on tax residency, and the impact of key cases on tax residency.
In addition, the webinar will explain how to determine tax residence status for the purpose of applying tax relief in double tax agreements.
