Stock Plans in New Zealand
Summary Table
(Updated as of August 2024)
In general, New Zealand is a relatively straightforward country for stock compensation.
A securities prospectus filing is required unless an exemption applies. Most companies are able to rely on an exemption, although special disclosure to plan participants may be required.
Employers can decide whether to withhold income tax from the gain. Social taxes are not due on stock settled awards. Regardless of whether the employer decides to withhold, the employer has to report the income through payroll. The employee must pay any tax due at year-end.
The New Zealand tax year is April 1 to March 31.
