Details

 

 This authoritative text by James Coleman discusses New Zealand jurisprudence on the general anti-avoidance provision. It will enable practitioners to comply with the provision with increased confidence and predict with greater certainty when it applies.

Tax Avoidance Law in New Zealand includes detailed coverage of the Supreme Court judgment in Ben Nevis Forestry Ventures Limited v C of IR, which is the first decision by that court on the application of the general anti-avoidance provision.

It deals with the test for what constitutes tax avoidance in the light of that judgment. It also deals with the interrelationship between the specific provisions of the Income Tax Act and the general anti-avoidance provision, the relationship between the general anti-avoidance provision and specific anti-avoidance provisions, and the concept of sham.
