Subject: 20OIA1307 Official Information request - Foreign Trusts

Dear Inland Revenue Department,

This OIA Request follows up on a previous request regarding New Zealand foreign trusts (fyi-request-12268-6161 b60f). Thank you for the information given in your previous response, it was very informative and helpful for my thesis research. My questions in this request expands upon those in the previous OIA with a view to gaining more information around the number of foreign trusts in New Zealand going back to 2010, as well as the value of the assets held within these trusts.

Question 1: How many foreign trusts were active in New Zealand in 2010?
Question 2: How many foreign trusts were active in New Zealand in 2011?
Question 3: How many foreign trusts were active in New Zealand in 2012?
Question 4: How many foreign trusts were active in New Zealand in 2013?
Question 5: How many foreign trusts were active in New Zealand in 2014?
Question 6: How many foreign trusts were active in New Zealand in 2015?
Question 7: How many foreign trusts were active in New Zealand in 2016?
Question 8: How many foreign trusts were active in New Zealand in 2017?
Question 9: How many foreign trusts were active in New Zealand in 2018?
Question 10: How many foreign trusts were active in New Zealand in 2019?

Question 11: Does Inland Revenue maintain any form of record of the assets or value of assets held within each foreign trust?

Question 12: Is there any way that I could compile information about the value of assets held within New Zealand foreign trusts, or is this information totally non-existent?

Yours faithfully,

Kieran Tahir, University of Auckland Politics Masters student
