New Zealand Overview
New Zealand consistently ranks among the top 10 countries for investor protection, business startup facilitation, and overall ease of doing business. Additionally, it secured 2nd place on Transparency International’s 2022 Corruption Perception Index, reflecting its commitment to government transparency and minimal corruption.
Being one of the least densely populated nations, New Zealand also benefits from the absence of gift, estate, or wealth taxes, no capital gains tax, a comprehensive network of tax treaties, and a robust legal framework based on English law. These factors have made it an appealing destination for those considering tax residency. In HSBC’s 2018 Expat Explorer survey, New Zealand was ranked 2nd globally for both work-life balance and quality of life. The UN also placed New Zealand 16th out of 189 countries on its 2018 Human Development Index, showcasing its attractive work-life balance, as well as its world-class education and healthcare systems.
