In recent years, there have been many expats returning to New Zealand. It is also commonplace for younger generations to look offshore for better work opportunities, which may ultimately result in them settling overseas.

The implications on the structures of New Zealanders migrating offshore can be costly if not well managed/planned for. It is critical to understand the tax impact that a move can have and the tax impact of the country they wish to reside in.

For example, any beneficiary of a New Zealand trust living in Australia could have significant tax issues to deal with. As could a New Zealand trust with beneficiaries offshore, in particular Australia.

This course will look at the potential risk areas that need to be considered prior to and following departure, and also will look at some of the more common jurisdictions and the implications of these from a New Zealand tax perspective.

Upon satisfactory completion of this activity you will be able to:

• Have a better understanding of the tax risks to be considered when leaving New Zealand
• Understand the likely New Zealand tax implications a departure will have on other entities
