Dear Ministers
In accordance with your letter of appointment dated 18 April 2016, and the New Zealand Gazette notice dated 19 April 2016, I enclose my report arising from the Government Inquiry into Foreign Trust Disclosure Rules.
The report contains a number of recommendations that the Inquiry considers will address the issues identified with the existing disclosure rules, which are not considered fit for purpose.
The Inquiry has benefited from the input of officials from Treasury, Inland Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, the Department of Internal Affairs, the Financial Intelligence Unit of the New Zealand Police, the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, and the Privacy Commissioner. I thank them for their assistance.
I would be pleased to discuss the findings and recommendations at your convenience.
Yours sincerely
John Shewan CNZM
