Contracting to a UK company from NZ

[ElCapitanMarkla]

I spent the last few years in the UK contracting for a bunch of companies. I did all of this through my own UK Ltd company.

I have now moved back to NZ and have setup a NZ Ltd company. I still have a couple of UK contracts that will still go through my UK Ltd company and I need to know the best way to bring those pounds back to NZ.

I was just wondering if anyone else had been in this position with regards to tax? I haven't managed to find an accountant who will recommend the best way yet.

From what I gather, I have two options - issue dividends in the UK and then transfer them over, not too sure if this is that tax efficient
or - invoice my UK company from my NZ company.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers

I'd be curious as to how this resolved - have a similar query as well.

The original poster was only on the forum this one time, and the one who answered him hasn't been on since May, 2014, so I don't know that either one will see your question. You could try PMing chrisl34, in case he might still get an email alert for that. If you see his previous posts http://www.enz.org/forum/search.php?searchid=332485, evidently this is/was his business.
