Take your crypto knowledge to the next level with practical guidance on New Zealand tax, AML/CFT obligations, and the real-world challenges of advising clients on digital assets
Ready to put your crypto foundations to work?
In Part 1 we got you up to speed on the basics — what cryptocurrency is, how it works, and why clients are increasingly asking about it.
This Part 2 webinar takes that foundational knowledge and applies it, walking through the practical tax, legal and compliance questions you'll face when a client puts crypto in front of you.
In this webinar we will work through real examples and focus on:
- how crypto is taxed in New Zealand — income tax, GST, working out the gain, and record-keeping that stands up to scrutiny.
- new rules for your clients, and why "cashing out" is no longer the only thing that counts.
- your AML/CFT considerations; and
- wallets, custody and the verification challenge — how to confirm what a client owns
NB - please note that the content of this webinar is aimed at Accountants and Lawyers who are new to crypto.
