Tax Avoidance, International Tax Arbitrage, and New Zealand as a Haven for Foreign Capital and IncomeJohn PrebbleVictoria University of Wellington; Institut für Österreichisches und Internationales Steuerrecht, Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien; Monash University New Zealand Association for Comparative Law Yearbook, Vol. 15, pp. 103-116, 2009 Abstract: New Zealand is not a promising jurisdiction to serve as a tax haven. The country has relatively high rates of taxation for residents and New Zealand sourced income. Further, 2008 and 2009 saw several major anti-avoidance cases against New Zealand taxpayers. The cases included not only the usual domestic tax shelters but also a substantial attack on tax avoidance by banks that engage in international tax arbitrage. The tax planning of the banks involved exploiting differential treatments of a stream of revenue that flowed from one jurisdiction to another.
