It is time for real leadership - a big problem affecting many
countries has been identified, and to the rest of the world New
Zealand appears to be sitting back trying to deny any problem exists.
New Zealand used to be regarded as a good world citizen - seeking
responsible market rules and cooperation. New Zealand has a lot to
gain from encouraging the closing of tax loopholes internationally
that enable wealthy individuals and companies to avoid paying tax in
New Zealand; we should do our part by helping other countries prevent
their taxpayers and companies avoid tax through our loopholes.

How about posting a few urls from foreign newspapers or news-sites so we
can see the massive damage done to our reputation, that you know about
but nobody else does
?

From that article:
--------
"The writing is on the wall for thousands of foreigners who have set
up foreign trusts in New Zealand, a law and accounting body says.
MSI Global, which has 250 member companies around the world, said in a statement that New Zealand allowed foreign trusts to be established
"with minimal oversight or information being provided".
But it said times were changing in the wake of the Panama Papers leak
and that "foreign investors would be wise to act now".
"As New Zealand approaches an election in 2017 the National government
is likely to want to be seen to be policing foreign investment more
strictly to appeal to the populist element in the New Zealand
electorate," it said.
Prime Minister John Key announced in April that tax expert John Shewan
would head a review of the disclosure rules faced by the more than
11,000 foreign trusts that have been set up in New Zealand. He is due
to report back by June 30.
After "bowing to public pressure" it seemed reasonably likely Shewan's
review would result in "at a minimum, a tightening of the existing
foreign trust regime and for much more information to be disclosed",
MSI said.
That information was likely to include the identity of trust
appointers, beneficiaries and trust assets, it said.
"More controls appear likely, so potential foreign investors should
not delay their investment decisions." "
--------
So there we have it - National are giving the clients of the tax haven industry time to rearrange their affairs, and the only reason that
National will eventually do anything is for their image in the lead up
to the 2017 election.
