The vexation of taxation It’s a subject that unites everyone, no matter what they do or where they live: the mutual loathing of giving your hard-earned cash away to the taxman hidden inside the Inland Revenue Department. It’s a bitter pill alright, but we reckon it can be considerably sweetened, if you are prepared for it. At UHY Haines Norton we have many years of experience dealing with the sometimes bewildering complexities of IRD requirements. We can lead you through the maze – because we have our Tax Division specialists to take you by the hand.
The T-Word They are to tax what Gordon Ramsay is to cooking, except for their language, of course. They’re experts, not just in negotiating their way through the minefield of tax law, but for letting their clients “sleep easy”, knowing their business affairs are in safe hands – like putting Gordon in charge of your kitchen. The tax consultancy division provides clients with specialist tax advice on all areas of taxation including: • Ensuring you pay no more tax than you have to • Land transactions and associated business structures • Trans-Tasman and other international tax matters – optimising tax efficiency and cash flow • KiwiSaver
• Overseas investments • Advising businesses contemplating unusual or one-off transactions • Tax and trusts • Structuring advice: tax planning and minimisation, asset protection and remuneration planning • Audit assistance for tax matters
If you are looking at doing business overseas, we are able to employ our UHY network of affiliated firms to enable a smooth transition into the foreign market. We’re also able to co-ordinate the New Zealand side of the transaction, with particular regard to Kiwi tax implications.
