FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kapiti Coast, Wellington, New Zealand based GAB Chartered Accountants have just expanded their specialist trust accounting services to accommodate increased numbers of business owners and professionals returning from periods overseas.

Mr Graeme Beardsley, founder and principal of GAB Chartered Accountants said, “We have noticed a trend of business owners and professionals returning from stints overseas and wanting professional advice on setting up trusts on arriving back in New Zealand.” He went on to say, “The legal and taxation issues relating to the setting up of family and trading trusts are complex. We have over 25 years of experience in this field and are well qualified to handle the most complex of cases presented.”

Any individual with assets such as their family home and investments, needs to consider the protection of those assets. Each person’s situation is unique but GAB Chartered Accountants generally recommend a mixture of appropriate insurance cover and a family trust. The issues and options are discussed with you to ensure you understand what’s involved. They then liaise with your lawyer and other professional advisers to ensure the appropriate structure is put in place.

Trusts can be established for a variety of reasons and there are two major types. Firstly, Trust’s which provide protection for personal assets such as the family home & investments. These are commonly referred to as “family trusts”. Secondly, Trust’s established to operate a business. These are commonly referred to as “trading trusts”. Trusts can provide a high degree of flexibility in managing your investments or business, and can provide a number of tax planning opportunities. GAB Chartered Accountants insist that correct management is vital if the trust is to operate effectively and avoid attack.
