Why New Zealand Foreign Trusts ?
New Zealand is an international trust jurisdiction with an excellent reputation worldwide, distinguished by its economic and political stability and with a solid commercial and professional framework. New Zealand has an extensive network of international tax treaties and low level information disclosure requirements.
One of main reasons why New Zealand is an attractive trust jurisdiction is because of its foreign trust regime (“NZFT”). NZFT are legal entities established by non-resident NZ settlors whose assets are held and managed by a NZ resident trustee. The NZ resident trustee manages the assets in accordance with the details outlined in the trust deed, under the instructions of the settlor for the benefit of an intended beneficiary.
Discretionary NZFT offers a number of advantages including asset protection and laws prescribing succession. The NZFT have three main tax advantages:
- Foreign source income is not taxable in New Zealand.
- New Zealand does not have a capital gain tax.
- Distribution of overseas income to non-resident beneficiaries will not be subject to New Zealand tax.
