Double Tax Treaty UAE - New Zealand

The double taxation agreement between the UAE and New Zealand was signed in 2004 and entered into force one year later. This important convention was meant to avoid the fiscal evasion and to impose the taxation on incomes only in one of the two contracting states where a company is registered or where an individual earns money. People or enterprises with profits or incomes in the UAE or New Zealand should know that the tax period is one year.
