Pre-Migration Tax and Estate Planning

Pre-Migration Tax and Estate PlanningPre-Migration Tax and Estate PlanningPre-Migration Tax and Estate Planning Jones Law specialises in pre-migration tax and estate planning. We assist new migrants to structure their legal affairs prior to and upon arrival in New Zealand.

 

As a new migrant, you should consider:

  • Your tax exposure on foreign currency holdings
  •  The four year new migrant tax exemption, and whether or not y
     you qualify
  • Tax implications of offshore investments, including pensions
  • Cross-border inheritance and estate planning
  •  Asset acquisition assistance
  •  Gifting and cross-border asset transfers
  • Relationship property and creditor risk

Significant differences in the way income is taxed in New Zealand and your home country may catch you unawares.

Simply having money in the bank can yield unexpected tax consequences in New Zealand, where unrealised foreign exchange gains can be brought into the tax net. Non-New Zealand shares, pension investments and insurance policies may all be subject to tax, based on an assumed increase in value, notwithstanding that you may not have received a cent!
