The purpose of this thesis is to review the causes of, and solutions to tax avoidance.

In discussing of legislative rules, the thesis reviews the various applicable sections in the New Zealand Income Tax Act 2004, taking into account of leading cases, discusses the development in other jurisdictions, and in particular examines the development of Generally Anti-avoidance Rules in three jurisdictions. The thesis recommends the key elements for design a good tax system which will help to restrict the conditions that make tax avoidance possible for the future development.
