Accounting & Tax Advisory

William Buck

William Buck is a leading firm of Chartered Accountants and Advisers with a proud reputation for delivering value and results to our clients for well over 100 years. We offer services in audit, tax and business advisory.

Property development and investment advice are areas of particular expertise in our firm, led by Clyde Young. We have a large number of clients both in New Zealand and around the world that we have assisted to maximise the financial performance of their property investments.

We bring knowledge and networks. We have a large team of specialists in offices in Auckland and throughout Australia. We are also part of Praxity, the world's largest alliance of independent accounting firms - all committed to the highest standards in financial and advisory services.

What this means for you is that we are well resourced to guide you on investment structures and management that are tax effective and comply with regulations in New Zealand and your country of residence.

Structuring your investment

New Zealand provides a wide range of opportunities for investors when it comes to holding property assets. William Buck has expertise in all types of property-owning structures, including the use of partnerships, trusts, limited liability companies, and loss-attributing qualifying companies (LAQCs).

The merits of each structure are considered in the context of rules that apply in your country of residence (if that is not New Zealand), and in the context of your total tax commitments. The aim is to ensure you do not incur unnecessary cost or risk.

Tax effectiveness

We are experienced in assisting with the financing of transactions in the most commercial and tax-effective manner. We can then partner with you to cost-effectively manage your New Zealand taxation affairs, including the preparation of annual tax returns, and Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance.

Service excellence

As a client of William Buck you can be sure of a very high standard of service and communication. We operate a secure client section of our website, which allows us to provide information securely to our clients. Tax returns, financial accounts, tax opinions and letters are posted to a secure section where each client has their own password and access code to download and print information. Clients can also upload information to the secure section for William Buck staff to access. The benefits are the security features, immediate access and flexibility. The feature works very well for overseas clients who in the past would have had to wait for their documents by mail.
