UK – New Zealand tax scenario examples
Graham and Lee
Graham is a Kiwi who moved to London 20 years ago where he met Lee, a UK citizen. They are planning to retire to Cable Bay in Northland where Graham’s family live. Graham and Lee each have about £1million in UK Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) and UK pension schemes. They are also planning on selling their London flat for £1.5million. They approached us for advice on the various tax implications of migrating to New Zealand and how their various investments and pension schemes would be taxed. We also advised them about the UK capital gains tax implications of selling their London flat and their potential ongoing inheritance tax position.
Don and Wendy
Don and Wendy are retired farmers and now live in Tauranga. Their assets include two rental properties and their current home together with an investment portfolio. All their assets are held in a family trust of which they and their two children, John and Sue, and five grandchildren are beneficiaries.
Sue and her three children live in Mt Maunganui; however John has been living in the UK for 25 years and now lives in Bath with his two children who were both born in the UK.
Don and Wendy would like to help their grandchildren with their university and school fees. The proposal is for one of the rental properties to be sold and the proceeds distributed equally among the grandchildren. As part of Don and Wendy’s estate planning, they also wished to settle a separate trust for John and his children.
We advised Don and Wendy that their proposals were likely to trigger some adverse UK tax issues for John and his children. In particular, the distribution of the capital gain from the sale of the rental property, although non-taxable for New Zealand tax purposes would be deemed a taxable capital gain for UK tax purposes and any distribution would be potentially taxable at up to 24%. We were able to suggest alternatives which by-passed this risk.
