About

Provided by Russell McVeagh

Russell McVeagh's Tax team is New Zealand's strongest legal tax practice, providing a complete range of advice on all types of direct and indirect taxation.

Clients choose our Tax team for our range of expertise, depth of experience and our commitment to advancing our clients’ interests. Our tax lawyers bridge the gap between the tax and other legal issues that need to be managed in any transaction or dispute. 

Our Tax team provides advice on a wide variety of issues relating to financing and capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, business establishment and reorganisations, investment products, PPPs, employee remuneration packages, customs and excise, transfer pricing, and tax investigations and disputes.

The team has participated in all aspects of the tax reform process, including appearing before parliamentary committees and making representations at ministerial level. Close involvement in the tax reform process means that all team members are familiar with the latest developments in law and procedure, and have a full appreciation of the approach of the policy makers and tax administration.

Almost every transaction the firm advises on has tax implications for our clients. That’s why our tax specialists are embedded across our practice, combining a deep knowledge of tax law with industry expertise.
