I am a professional from India. In India, corporate houses regularly rely on Company Secretaries for corporate due diligence and compliance matters. Recently, following the India–New Zealand FTA developments, I was involved in the due diligence of a company with a subsidiary in New Zealand. I got stuck on certain New Zealand tax aspects, which is when I came across Syed’s practical tax insights. His content helped me understand the relevant tax concepts and identify areas where the company had taken certain tax positions or claimed credits that required further scrutiny. This helped me raise the right questions and appropriately flag these matters to the promoters. I was genuinely impressed by the depth, clarity, and practical value of his guidance. The fact that he shares such high-quality knowledge is remarkable and generous. I felt compelled to leave this Google review simply to appreciate Syed and the team for sharing knowledge and making New Zealand tax matters easier to understand.
