A debrief on the 2021 New Zealand Budget

Sec 128 of the Trusts Act 2019 raises a number of important questions for Accountants and the role they should play both as Trustees and when they are giving advice to Trusts. The section goes beyond simply “investing prudently” and asks questions around diversification and investment strategies. Further details under Description . . .

Ensure you remain ethically alert and up to date

Following the Government's 23 March announcement on changes to the taxation of residential property, some law was passed on 30 March however, much of the detail was left to a Government discussion document. We now have the Government discussion document, and while this is not the final word, given many of these changes effectively apply from 27 March, now is the time to get up to speed, so you can guide clients on what the new rules are probably going to look like.

Companies are easy to create. They are very useful as a business entity. But what happens when a company has outlasted its usefulness? Or when the business is sold and it’s time to extract capital gains? How do you get rid of them?
