New Zealand Company Formation

In our professional opinion, New Zealand company formation is an attractive, tax-efficient method to conduct international trading. The following information will help you determine whether New Zealand company formation is the optimum corporate structure to fulfill your corporate objectives:
Advantages of New Zealand Company Formation
1.
If properly structured, a New Zealand non-resident company is legally tax-exempt (see our Tax Planning in New Zealand page). In addition, with New Zealand company formation there are no minimum paid up capital requirements. In addition, New Zealand is positively ranked as the world's sixth-freest economy, and scores at 70% in terms of investment freedom and capital flows according to the 2008 Index of Economic Freedom by The Heritage Organisation, a measure of freedom enjoyed in  business, trade, monetary, financial, investment and labour markets.
2.
New Zealand business set up is straight forward. According to the World Bank's Doing Business 2008 Survey, New Zealand is ranked second in the world in terms in ease of doing business (see our New Zealand company set up page). The survey measures factors including the procedures for starting a business in New Zealand, time, cost and minimum capital required to start a business. Furthermore, New Zealand is ranked as the least corrupt country in the 2007 Corruption Perceptions Index by Transparency International, a global measure of corruption amongst public officials and politicians.
3.
New Zealand has double taxation treaties with major trading nations including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, the UAE and the US.
4.
For a New Zealand company incorporation, a minimum of one director and one shareholder is required. Corporate shareholders are permitted, though corporate directors are not. 100% foreign ownership is permitted.
5.
New Zealand company formation is an excellent corporate vehicle to promote to customers, suppliers and investors due to the positive image portrayed by the New Zealand company formation.
6.

7.
In its 2008 World Competitiveness Yearbook, the Switzerland-based IMD positively ranks New Zealand as the world’s 18th most competitive economy. The ranking takes into account factors including economic performance, government efficiency, business efficiency and infrastructure. New Zealand also ranks as the world's 24th most competitive economy in the World Bank's Global Competitiveness Report 2007-2008.
Disadvantages of New Zealand Company Formation
1.
A resident New Zealand company is subject to a corporation tax of 33% on income sourced in New Zealand and globally. whether income is sourced in New Zealand or internationally (see the Inland Revenue Service website).
2.
Following New Zealand company incorporation, annual audited financial statements  and a tax return must be submitted to the New Zealand authorities. Healy Consultants will assist our clients efficiently and effectively to complete this annual statutory obligation.
