China is also a complex and rapidly evolving market.  Its business regulatory system is intricate and its tax system has been ranked among the most challenging in the world, according to the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index.

The Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between China and New Zealand is a significant development for both countries that makes bilateral trade in goods and services as well as investment easier.

The FTA opens the door to many new opportunities for New Zealand companies, however it is up to individual businesses to take action and capitalise on the benefits available.

If you are already doing business in China and want to ensure you are well-placed to take advantage of the FTA, or if you are looking to China to help grow your business, visit the China Tax Desk.
