Attention: Kiwi Expats, Immigrants, Investors & Business Owners…
Looking For Information About
New Zealand Taxes From
A NZ-Based Accountant?

______________________________________________________________
Dear Visitor
If you do not live in New Zealand and require service or advice concerning New Zealand taxes or New Zealand tax advice, then please take the time and read on.
Here’s why:
We are a NZ-based Chartered Accounting Firm specialising in helping a wide range of people living around the world with New Zealand Taxes and New Zealand Tax matters.
If you live abroad but have business dealings in NZ (or are about to) then we’d like to talk to you! Why? Because we’ve helped literally thousands of Kiwi expats, migrants, Kiwis returning home, investors, property owners and business owners.
We can help you save money and time, but above all achieved real peace-of-mind!
We are Matthew Gilligan, John Rowe and Janet Xuccoa from Gilligan Rowe & Associates Ltd (GRA). We are Chartered Accountants in Auckland New Zealand, and have been providing expert and award-wining service since 1994.
You can learn more about us later, because for now we want to know that we understand the frustrations and concerns when it comes to managing your financial affairs in New Zealand.
New Zealand Taxes: Dealing with NZ
Here are just some concerns that we hear every day from people who trust us with their affairs but who do not live in NZ:
- For expats returning or new migrants to NZ… Concerns about how to treat investment income earned outside of NZ. What are the tax implications and how can they protect your money.
- When it comes to buying a home or investment property…Where to buy in NZ, what to buy, what restrictions exist, and what taxation, accounting and legal structures they should be using.
- How can tax be minimised (legally) on New Zealand investments through the correct use of tax and asset planning structures?
Plus many more…
Do you believe that there is more to achieving your financial goals and being successful in life than simply enjoying the traditional services offered by traditional chartered accountants?
We do. That’s why we’ve built our chartered accounting practice firm on assisting anyone in the world to be financially successful for their entire life, not just on doing
The distinction is that while other New Zealand Accountants make bookeeping the main thing they do, we instead choose to take a ‘holistic’ view to our clients’ financial achievement.
We do this for our international clients by providing specialist legal, taxation and accounting services all under one roof. New Zealand Taxes and taxation minimisation is our focus.
Yes, this includes tax services but also covers a range of different services that in the end lead to your success…even though you may be on the other side of the world!
These services include:
- Asset Planning
- Review of Taxes and tax minimisation
- Family Trusts
- Property Accounting
- Property Investment Strategy & Advice
Plus lots more…
Our simple but smart approach of having all the experts working together under one roof means we get better results, faster. It’s that simple.
But every international client is different. The accounting services, tax structures and strategy that will work for a Kiwi expatriate returning to New Zealand may not be suitable for an offshore investor.
It’s our flexibility, expertise and experience that makes the difference.
We look forward to helping you.
