CW 59: New Zealand companies operating in Niue
or “Tax exemptions for NZ companies doing business in Niue”
You could also call this:

“Tax-free income and distributions from Niue and Tokelau international trust funds”

You don’t have to pay tax on money you get if you’re the trustee of the Niue International Trust Fund or the Tokelau International Trust Fund. This means the money these funds earn is tax-free.

Also, if you receive money that comes from either of these funds, you don’t have to pay tax on it. This applies no matter who you are - if the Niue International Trust Fund or the Tokelau International Trust Fund gives you money, it’s tax-free for you.

This rule is part of New Zealand’s tax laws and it’s designed to help these special international funds.
