Overview

The last year has seen the release of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds and the re-election of Donald Trump who has promised to be the first 'crypto president'.

Locally, Inland Revenue’s increased focus on cryptoassets means businesses and individuals ignore the associated tax implications at their peril.

Jason Hoseason, Tax Manager of Nexia New Zealand’s Christchurch office, will lead an informative and entertaining session. The session will include an explanation of the different types of cryptoassets, how the tax rules apply to them, relevant Inland Revenue commentary and new regulations. Jason has over 25 years’ experience as a Chartered Accountant specialising in tax, and he regularly provides tax advice and assistance to clients regarding cryptocurrency.

Directors' Deep Dive events are smaller interactive discussion-style sessions where you will be encouraged to ask questions, so this session is suitable for all levels of knowledge on cryptoassets and the underlying technologies.
