E-commerce business restructure and tax efficiency

Elevating Accounting for an Import/Export Business

Foreign Trust Beneficiary

Our Solution

Guided a thriving e-commerce entity through a strategic restructure into a family trust with a corporate trustee and the family members and a bucket company as beneficiaries

Proposed a comprehensive fixed-fee accounting package tailored for an import/export enterprise. This encompassed end-of-year reports, diligent bookkeeping, cash flow projections, and quarterly on-site visits for document collection and to resolve any queries on the spot.

We collaborated with a client and an international lawyer to address their family trust matters in New Zealand. We provided detailed tax advice, clarifying the conditions under which a distribution from a foreign trust would be non-taxable.

Result

The client saved hours each quarter in looking for transactions and invoices to prepare their activity statements. Tax Return and TPAR ready at the end of the year.

Their assets were better protected, and their overall tax rate reduced from 34% to 25%.

Addressed and corrected past GST discrepancies, enabling the owner to prioritize business operations over routine bookkeeping. The fixed fee ensured transparency and predictability in costs

The client received a distribution from the trust’s corpus, which was not subject to tax. Consequently, they avoided a potential tax liability of approximately $52,000.
