预扣税

( a) 居民预扣税(RWT)

向新西兰居民纳税人支付的利息和股息收入需缴纳 RWT(除非收款人持有有效的免税证明,并且有某些其他豁免)。

RWT 按以下费率扣除:

  • 支付给个人的利息的 10.5%、17.5%、30% 或 33%;
  • 支付给公司的利息的 28% 或 33%;以及
  • 所有股息的 33%(估算范围除外)。

( b) 非居民预扣税(NRWT)

向非居民支付的新西兰获得的股息、利息和特许权使用费均须缴纳 NRWT。

NRWT 的比率是:

  • 股息的 30%,但 “完全计算” 的股息除外(如第 7.2 (a) 节所述),其利率为 0% 或 NRWT 被 FITC 制度解除(在任何情况下,新西兰大部分税收协定的利率都是 15%,在某些情况下,较低);
  • 利息为 15%(大多数税收协议的上限为 10%,在某些情况下为 0%),除非非居民有新西兰分行,并且受 AIL 制度的约束(下文);以及
  • 特许权使用费的 15%(在 DTA 中受 5%、10% 或 15% 的限制)。

非居民财务安排所得税规则适用于非居民贷款人与新西兰相关借款人之间的任何有息贷款。这些规则实际上要求在利息收入年度之后的收入年度结束后约两个月内向贷款人支付利息(或利息将资本化,而不仅仅是累计),借款人有权扣除利息。可免赔。

如果新西兰纳税居民向非居民、非关联贷款人借款,新西兰居民可通过完成某些登记,使用批准的发行人征费 (AIL) 制度。AIL 制度要求借款人登记为批准的发行人,也要求将贷款人登记为注册证券。根据这一制度,如果新西兰居民借款人支付 2% 的利息总额,NRWT 将为零评级。此外,即使该利息不受 NRWT 的约束(因为非居民贷款人有新西兰分行),根据某些免税协定,新西兰借款人还能根据具体情况向 AIL 付款。AIL 是由新西兰居民借款人支付的税款,因此在非居民贷款人的本国司法管辖区内不太可能信贷。出于所得税目的,该税可以向借款人扣除。如果非居民与新西兰居民共同获得利息,则无法使用 AIL 制度。

在因相关方利益而不当地以 AIL 取代 NRWT 的情况下,包括某些背靠背贷款安排和非居民贷款人团体 “共同行动”,AIL 制度不可用。就在新西兰发行的某些广泛持有的新西兰元债券支付利息而言,AIL 本身可能被评为零评级。

( c) 住宅用地预扣税(RLWT)

RLWT 制度适用于离岸人员受住宅土地出售 “直线” 测试的约束。根据该制度,除非该人获得 RLWT 豁免证书,否则代表供应商参与销售的运输商或律师必须扣留 RLWT,即(一般)销售收益的 33%(或公司的 28%)、购买价格和金额的 10% 的较低者在某些有担保债权人得到偿还之后仍然存在.

( d) 其他预扣

还需要从付款中支付各种其他预扣,例如董事费、酬金、销售员佣金和非居民承包商费用。
