The New Zealand Tax Engine
Cassandra's New Zealand tax engine reasons over New Zealand primary sources rather than a generic global model. Answers name the statute, the section, and the Inland Revenue (IRD) guidance relied on, so chartered accountants, tax agents, barristers and solicitors can verify the reasoning before it reaches a client.
Where legislation is amended or guidance is withdrawn, the engine states which version it relied on. Cross-border questions combine this engine with the applicable double tax agreement, the OECD Model Tax Convention commentary, the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, and BEPS Pillar One and Pillar Two materials.
