Product Description
Numerous New Zealand businesses are expanding their operations overseas. When trading or operating overseas it is important to correctly establish the most efficient tax structure while at the same time keeping the structure transparent and easy to manage.
This webinar outlines different options for establishing and running overseas operations and the pros and cons of each option. Minimising tax is always a driver when investing overseas, however some structures to minimise tax create administration and financial mine fields. It is important to use the option which will work for your business—in the short and long term—and to ensure tax savings are balanced with the level of complexity of any structure to manage. If you are uncertain, the simplest structure is normally the best. Once a structure is established it is hard to unwind, it is important to get it right up front. Structures that are too complicated to maintain or are to tax-aggressive dilute value on any potential exit.
