A New Zealand Tax Resident is subject to tax in New Zealand on their worldwide income. A Non-Tax Resident is only subject to tax in New Zealand in the income sourced in New Zealand.

Deciding where a person is tax resident, under domestic legislation and under any applicable Double Tax Agreements is a critical component in determining what tax the person needs to pay in New Zealand if any.

In this webinar, we will work through the tests using practical examples to help you and your clients get this right.

Topics include:

• Tax residency tests for individuals and companies under our domestic tax legislation
• Transitional residency and its intricacies
• Considerations for Trusts
• Tax residency and the Double Tax Agreement tie breaker tests
• Differences for GST

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

• Determine whether an individual is New Zealand tax resident domestically or not;
• Determine whether a company is New Zealand tax resident or not;
• Apply the above tests to the various parties to trusts and understand some of the consequences that can arise and elections that may need to be made;

Suited to:
