NEW ZEALAND

Rawlinson & Hunter has established a trust company structure in New Zealand for the provision of trustee services.

​

Trusts can be administered in New Zealand or, where appropriate, arrangements can be made for certain administrative functions to be delegated to other Rawlinson & Hunter offices while retaining the overall responsibility and control of trustee decisions within the New Zealand trustee company.

​

New Zealand offers a favourable tax base for trusts with settlors and beneficiaries who are not New Zealand residents while being a member state of the OECD and party to an extensive network of tax treaties. It is a country with a highly developed trust law and legal infrastructure and may be particularly attractive to settlors wanting a Pacific base for their financial interests.

​

The New Zealand team has extensive experience working with New Zealand tax laws and have close relationships with local legal professionals who assist with international and local legal issues.
