Thinking of moving to New Zealand?

Sterling works with a number of other partners to help UK residents who are thinking of emigrating to New Zealand. Many migrants come to New Zealand for lifestyle or family reasons – and it is easy to overlook the financial aspects.

As well as tax matters you will need to consider your pension position and it pays to use a good financial adviser who has experience in both New Zealand and the UK.

Some migrants are reluctant to seek advice – either because they have never been in business before and never needed a tax adviser or because they simply underestimate the degree of complexity involved. Other migrants try to adopt a ‘do it yourself’ attitude thinking that they can find out all they need to know from the internet. This can often be a costly mistake – even guidance received from Inland Revenue cannot always be relied upon.

If your financial situation is relatively complex it is recommended that you have a Tax Review. If this is of interest please click here and ask for a questionnaire. This consists of a report of typically 7 or 8 pages with a follow-up conversation to discuss any matters arising. Fees are always agreed in advance.
