International Tax

PKF Withers Tsang specialises in helping individuals and businesses with international tax advice. It’s a complex area of law. If you are moving to or from New Zealand, or have employees relocating, or perhaps you are expanding your business overseas, talk to us, we can help ensure your tax structure is right for your circumstances.

New Zealand requires NZ tax residents to pay tax on their worldwide income, including overseas interest; dividends; rental income; investments and more. It is important not to rely on logic, or fairness when considering the treatment of any foreign interests. Get advice to avoid an unexpected tax obligation.

On the other hand, if you are thinking of leaving NZ, allow us to review and advise on your NZ tax affairs prior to you leaving. Foreign tax legislation can be quite different to NZ. Access to the PKF Global network of tax experts is there to ensure you do not take tax baggage with you.

Talk to us and we’ll arrange a tax consultation with you, so you don’t pay more tax than you need to.
