New Zealand: A compelling destination

Delivering great tax outcomes

New Zealand’s superannuation schemes are renowned for their flexibility and tax efficiency. Unlike many other countries, New Zealand does not impose taxes on payments made from these superannuation schemes. This absence of taxation provides a significant advantage for individuals looking to optimize their retirement savings and investments.

No double tax treaty worries

A key aspect of our service is the ability to offer these tax benefits without reliance on double tax treaties. Clients can enjoy the tax-free status of their superannuation payouts in New Zealand regardless of their country of residence. This is particularly advantageous for expatriates or individuals with international financial interests.

For all kinds of funds (not just pensions)

Whether it’s a pension fund from Ireland, the UK, Malta, Gibraltar, or investment savings, our approach ensures that clients receive the maximum benefits from New Zealand’s superannuation schemes. We understand the nuances of different fund structures and work meticulously to align them with the advantageous New Zealand tax environment.

Native English speaking

Being English speaking is crucial for most members as it means:

  • All governing documentation is in English and not open to interpretation in another language

  • All relevant authorities websites are understandable and complaints processes easy to follow

Robust regulatory protections

New Zealand has an excellent regulatory body the Financial Market Authority (FMA see http://www.fma.govt.nz) that governs superannuation schemes. In addition the Inland Revenue (the tax authority see http://www.ird.govt.nz) closely monitors superannuation schemes tax compliance. Every scheme must be individually registered with both the FMA and the Inland Revenue.

Clear and transparent fees and returns

Financial disclosure requirements in New Zealand are designed to protect investor interests. Many New Zealand schemes investment statements run to 30 plus pages meaning members can satisfy all questions prior to investing.

Fee disclosure is completely transparent, as are investment options and returns.
