EX 38: Exemptions for employee share schemes
or “Certain employee share schemes exempt from Foreign Investment Fund rules”
You could also call this:

“Ending of tax exemption for foreign companies with many NZ shareholders”

This part of the law used to be about ending a special rule for certain companies with many New Zealand shareholders. The rule was part of the rules about owning shares in foreign companies. However, this section has been removed from the law. It no longer applies since 1 October 2011. The government took it out of the Income Tax Act 2007 on 2 November 2012. This change affects how you calculate your taxes for the 2012-13 tax year and all the years after that.
