Product Description
This webinar will work through the New Zealand tax rules as they apply to cryptocurrency. Although nothing specifically deals with cryptocurrency as a separate and identifiable asset, there are a number of rules that, when combined, give taxation outcomes. This course will work through each of the rules and the interplay between them to give a clear understanding of New Zealand’s approach to taxing cryptocurrency assets.
With IR’s media release in July 2024 and IR’s increasing capability of identifying taxpayers that have traded in cryptocurrency, this topic is highly relevant.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- understand the current taxation issues around the treatment of cryptocurrency assets and the requirements
- be able to apply the various rules to any cryptocurrency assets that your clients may own
- enable you to advise on the taxation outcomes from a New Zealand perspective
Suited to:
- anyone with a direct or indirect interest in cryptocurrency
- any lawyer or accountant that has clients that have cryptocurrency investments.
