New Zealand would be great, but I heard that there are some separate rules for foreign shares. Or is that only for dividends? I need to learn more about that. I saw on this Quora answer [1] that I would need to pay tax on an assumed 5% dividend each year. So if I was holding $5M in shares, then I'd have to pay tax on an assumed dividend income of $250K. But I think there are also exceptions for startups that haven't gone public yet.

Are you available for a consultation?
