Trust structures are commonly used for both private and commercial purposes and will often be encountered by lawyers regardless of their practice area. However, the New Zealand taxation regime for trusts can be difficult to navigate due a constantly expanding number of rules and exceptions that do not always cohesively fit together.
The objective of this webinar is to provide a broad overview of the taxation of trusts in a digestible format for the audience. The presentation will draw on interesting real-life examples to demonstrate how the relevant tax rules are applied in practice and will discuss common issues and pitfalls to avoid.
This webinar has been pre-recorded.
This webinar is aimed at lawyers who advise on trust matters and want to enhance their understanding of the tax rules that apply to trusts, including the ability to identify tax issues and potential implications for clients. The webinar may also be of benefit for tax lawyers, although no prior tax knowledge or experience will be assumed.
