INTRODUCTION TO NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand lies in the southern Pacific Ocean 1,600 km east of Australia, its closest neighbour.
It is made up of the North and the South Islands. It has a diverse multi-cultural population of
over four million people. Whilst the majority are of British descent, New Zealand’s Maori and
Polynesian population make up around 14% and 6% respectively, and those of Asian decent
make up another 6%.
New Zealand is a parliamentary democracy and is a member
of the UN, OECD, the World Trade Organization, the
Commonwealth and other international organizations.
Since the mid-1970s the country has undergone considerable
economic restructuring. After losing favorable access to the
UK market, New Zealand has moved away from a primarily
agricultural economy to a very open and modern service
based economy, with a vibrant banking and financial services
sector and highly developed infrastructure.
New Zealand has a common law system, based on that of
England. It has a favorable reputation as a non-tax haven,
non-black listed jurisdiction, where New Zealand entities
are often the vehicle of choice for wealth and tax planning
purposes. With a stable political environment, economy and
a modern infrastructure, New Zealand is a highly regarded
jurisdiction for international business structures.
With one of the most open economies in the world New
Zealand has consistently been rated first or equal first for
freedom from corruption by Transparency International’s
Corruption Barometer and places highly in the World Bank’s
“Ease of Doing Business Index” table.

AMICORP IN NEW ZEALAND
Established in 2006, Amicorp New Zealand is located in Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city
with 1.5 million inhabitants. Auckland is a cosmopolitan city with the world’s largest Polynesian
population and a fast growing Asian community.
Amicorp’s dedicated team of multi-lingual professionals
can provide you with a fully functioning office that performs
a range of services from company incorporation and
management to trust creation, administration and tax filings.
New Zealand is particularly appealing for clients, who are
facing financial (and often physical) security issues. These
clients cannot use blacklisted jurisdictions under their
domestic legislation – which is where the onshore jurisdiction
of New Zealand can play a part.
A major advantage of a New Zealand entity in a structure is
that it will be exempt from New Zealand tax, provided there is
no New Zealand sourced income.
10
The various New Zealand structures on offer through Amicorp
New Zealand can be an extremely efficient and cost effective
way of holding non-New Zealand assets such as:


bank accounts;
investment portfolios;
privately held shares;
real estate; and
carrying out a trade or business sourced outside of NZ.
AMICORP GROUP | NEW ZEALAND
THE NEW ZEALAND FOREIGN TRUST
A New Zealand Foreign Trust (“NZFT”) is a secure and effective estate planning structure for
clients located almost anywhere in the world. Based on certain territoriality principles and its
settlor-based regime, NZFT’s are increasingly being used as an alternative to trusts in zero tax
jurisdictions. Properly planned, a NZFT can provide exceptional tax efficiency and can be easily
combined with other investment structures in high tax jurisdictions.
Advantages of a New Zealand Foreign Trust
A NZFT with a New Zealand resident trustee will not be
subject to tax in New Zealand provided the settlor is not
a resident of New Zealand and there is no New Zealand
sourced income. This includes the increase in the capital
value of the NZFT’s assets as long as they held offshore;
 Distributions to beneficiaries who are non-residents of New
Zealand are not subject to tax in New Zealand, provided
the income is not sourced in New Zealand;
 NZFT may utilize the benefits of New Zealand’s double tax
agreements.
 If the trust carries on business, information describing the
accounting system used in each income year to administer
the trust, accounting instruction manuals, and the system
and programme documentation.
A New Zealand resident trustee of a NZFT is also required to
keep general accounting and financial records that record the
income expenditure and financial position of the NZFT.
Amicorp New Zealand supplies all of these services.
Please note that New Zealand resident trustees of New
Zealand Foreign Trusts are required to keep the following
types of records:
 Documents that evidence the creation and constitution of
the NZFT;
 Foreign trust IR607 disclosure to the New Zealand tax
authorities;
 Particulars of settlements made on, and distributions made
by the trust (including the date of settlement or distribution
and the name and address of the settlor or recipient);
 Details of the assets and liabilities of the trust;
 Details of money received and expended by the trustees,
including details of when, where and why the receipt or
expenditure took place; and

NEW ZEALAND PRIVATE TRUSTEE COMPANY (PTC)
The New Zealand Private Trustee Company (“PTC”) is an easy to establish entity that can act
as a trustee of a NZFT when clients prefer not to engage the services of a professional trustee
company or there are complex assets or family businesses to manage. The PTC is a limited
liability company established in New Zealand, but its rules limit its business to acting as a trustee
only.
Advantages of a Private Trustee Company
 A PTC can allow clients and their family to participate in the administration of a NZFT.
A PTC is a conventional New Zealand company that acts as trustee of a NZFT. There are no limitations about its name, nor is
there any licensing requirement.
A NZFT with a PTC acting as trustee will have the same tax exempt status as other NZFTs.
There is no strict requirement for a New Zealand resident director of a PTC, however, this may be desirable for tax planning
reasons.
A PTC can have a minimum of one director and one shareholder. Directors must be natural persons and shares can be held by
a NZ resident or an overseas person.
The information is disclosed in the New Zealand Companies Registry in relation to a PTC and includes the name and address
of the directors and shareholders as well as the registered office address.
 In most cases financial statements do not need to be filed with any regulatory body in New Zealand.
Amicorp can establish a PTC whose function is to govern all matters concerning the NZFT including dealing with the trust’s
assets.
* PTC’s with the mind and management out of NZ can cause adverse tax consequences in the country of residence of the trustee.
Before setting up a PTC detailed tax advice should be sought in the jurisdiction where the directors will be resident
12
AMICORP GROUP | NEW ZEALAND
NEW ZEALAND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
The Limited Partnerships Act 2008 (“the NZLP Act”) created the New Zealand Limited Partnership
(“NZLP”) vehicle used for both domestic and international financial planning. NZLP’s are
comparable to limited partnerships in other jurisdictions such as the Netherlands and the United
Kingdom. NZLP’s are popular investment vehicles that present interesting opportunities with
non-resident partners given its fiscally transparent nature.
A NZLP is a separate legal entity from its investors, thereby
protecting investors from potential losses and claims arising
from the business activities of the NZLP. Being passive
investors, the limited partners liability is limited to their capital
contribution. It is the general partner who manages the
business and is responsible for the debts and obligations of
the limited partnership.
NZLP’s are easy to establish and require only two partners
(general partner and limited partner). Only the general
partner’s details are available on the public register. Financial
statements must be prepared but they do not need to be filed
or audited, unless the NZLP is considered an “issuer” under
the Financial Reporting Act 1993, and annual income tax
returns are required.
A limited partnership will be formed by registration at the
Companies Office, will be subject to similar provisions
relating to distributions and liquidations, and will have a
number of similar administrative obligations, such as the
requirements to:
 file an annual return;
 file an annual tax return; and
 issue and file annual financial statements.
See diagrams below as an illustration as to how NZLP can be
used:
Investment holding example
Advantages of a New Zealand Limited Partnership
 NZLPs can be formed for any purpose (other than banking
or insurance) but cannot be listed;
An NZLP is a separate legal entity;
 NZLPs will not be taxed at the partnership level;
 Each partner will be taxed separately on their portion of
the NZLP’s income and expenses determined in
accordance with the partnership agreement;
 NZLPs must have at least one general partner and one
limited partner who must not be the same;
An NZLP must have a written partnership agreement;
The general partner is responsible for the management of
the NZLP while limited partners are classified as investors;
The general partner is liable for the debts of the NZLP to
the extent that the debts cannot be met by the NZLP itself;
A limited partner is not liable in the same way. Its liability is
limited to the amount of any capital contribution it has
made to NZLP;
 If a limited partner takes part in the management of an
NZLP, it can expose itself to liability for the NZLP’s debts.
The limited partner cannot participate in the management
of the NZLP save for the safe harbour provisions in the
NZLP Act.

AMICORP GROUP | NEW ZEALAND
NEW ZEALAND LOOK-THROUGH COMPANY
The Look-through Company (“LTC”) is a relatively recent addition to New Zealand’s domestic and
foreign investment vehicles. A LTC is a regular limited liability company established under the
New Zealand Companies Act 1993. Like the NZLP it is also fiscally transparent, but only for tax
purposes by making a specific election under the Income Tax Act 2007 to be treated in that way.
The LTC must have at least one director, being a natural
person and this person can be resident out of New Zealand.
The LTC must have one shareholder and must also have only
five or fewer “look through counted owners”.
Purpose
An LTC may carry on any lawful business (subject to any
constitutional restrictions). An LTC undertaking financial
services may be required to register on New Zealand’s
Financial Service Providers Register.
Advantages of a New Zealand Look-through Company
An LTC is an internationally recognised business entity. It
provides an OECD alternative to other international
business companies that are commonly provided by
international financial centres.
Where the shareholders of an LTC are non-resident
individuals or resident trustees of a NZFT, then they will
not have to pay tax in New Zealand on foreign sourced
income earned by the LTC.
 Unlike a limited partnership, an individual may be both the
owner (i.e. sole shareholder) and the director/manager.
A foreign owned LTC may qualify for concessional rates
under double tax treaties.
Establishment
LTCs are incorporated and registered with the New Zealand
Registrar of Companies. The Companies Register includes
the details of the company’s registered office, its directors
and shareholders.
An LTC can be incorporated with or without a constitution in 1
to 2 business days.
Once incorporated, the company applies for a New Zealand
Inland Revenue Department number and the directors and
owners must unanimously elect to become an LTC. An LTC
must meet other criteria including, but not limited to:
 only having shareholders who are natural persons,
trustees of a trust or another LTC;
 only having one class of shares with the same rights;
having 5 or fewer look-through counted owners;
 Being resident in New Zealand and treated as
resident for the purposes of any double tax agreement
14
Taxation
An LTC may be an attractive vehicle for non-New Zealand
residents who are interested in international wealth
structuring. With fiscal transparency for tax purposes,
shareholders are deemed to receive the income of the LTC. A
non-resident shareholder of an LTC that only receives foreign
sourced income will not have any NZ tax liability.
Ongoing obligations
An LTC will have ongoing statutory administrative obligations
including:
 Filing an annual Income Tax Return (IR7);
 Filing an annual return;
 Maintaining the share register;
 Keeping statutory records at its registered office;
 Preparing an annual report; and
Audited annual financial statements and public filing. This
is only required if the LTC has more than 25% of its shares
held outside New Zealand and if two of the following
criteria are met i) LTC’s assets represent more than
NZD10million, ii) LTC’s turnover exceeds NZD20 million, iii)
LTC has 50 or more employees.

As your one-stop worldwide service provider, Amicorp gives you much more than top-quality
corporate and personal services.
Amicorp’s partnering services are for both service providers
who wish to establish an operational presence in New
Zealand but choose to first build their client base, and
those with existing operations who wish to condense and
operate remotely through another service provider. Amicorp
New Zealand can provide a fully completed private trustee
company, limited partnership, look-through company, and
trust formations to meet your deadlines. We deliver highquality services where all contact and services are carried
out on behalf of your managed client company or simply
provide the administration services required while you focus
on your client relationships.
Amicorp serves as an invisible link that extends the operative
range of the corporate and personal financial services you
offer your clients. Where applicable, Amicorp New Zealand
also provides resident shareholder facilities, avoiding the
need for a private trustee company to appoint an auditor.
Additional services include office facilities, phone & fax lines
and your company logo in our office building. This flexible
service plan allows you the freedom to choose your preferred
level of management, administrative support, and financial
reporting services. All of these services can be provided and
invoiced either in the client company’s name or directly to
you.
It is both time and cost efficient for Amicorp New Zealand to
service your entire outsourcing needs. All services provided
operate under a single master contract. This eliminates the
need for you to spend time negotiating separate contracts
with multiple service providers.
