    Hi Kristine

    You need to deal with a New Zealand accountant, most here will not know. Have you purchased in New Zealand. I can assist to help you finfd an expert in nz. It is important that you have established the structures in New Zealand and not in Australia

    Hi Kristine,

    You are correct that you ALSO require a cluey Australian Accountant who understands about NZ investing.

    Our accountant is excellent, however he is based at Warragul VIC.

    A lot of others here also use Dale Gutthrem Goss. You could do a search on the forum to read lots of discussion about him. Not sure about how well they know the NZ tax laws, as we don’t use them. Dale is about the best in Vic. so they say. Many interstate investors also use him. He has a good book out called “Trust Magic”.

    Regards,
    Del

    Dale is excellent I hear, but only for Australia tax laws. I recall asking about NZ tax laws a while back and he told me he doesn’t touch it.

    Hi Kristine

    Nigel is spot on – as an international investor you need to be careful of the structures you use, otherwise you can get caught with capital gains tax and a whole host of other issues.

    We have found we have had to find the right accountants both in Australia and New Zealand and get them working together.

    In Melbourne we can recommend Ruth Watson & Associates on phone 9572 0144. Despite being based in Carnegie she does have an office in Northcote too.

    Regards

    Hi Kristine,

    I am pleased you seemed happy with Paul Bright. I am also curious how you got on to him, when I didn’t give out his name or his company…[biggrin]

    He is EXCELLENT and has helped us immensely over the last 6 years or so.

    You might want to try and have a look at: http://www.masteraccountants.co.nz

    We are having dealings with him at the moment, and he “appears” very clued up (much more than the average NZ accountant.

    I don’t know him well enough for a full glowing recommendation though, but as far as Paul Bright at Armitage Downie, I couldn’t recommend anyone higher! We will continue to use him after we shift to QLD.

    Good luck,
