Frequently Asked Questions - New Zealand Market

Common questions from New Zealand businesses about hiring developers Philippines and IT outsourcing

A.Hiring developers Philippines from New Zealand is straightforward with Global BrainForce. We handle recruitment, screening, onboarding, and ongoing management. You define your requirements, we match you with pre-vetted Philippines developers, and you can deploy your team in 2-4 weeks. No KiwiSaver required, no PAYE tax burden, and complete operational ownership included. Perfect APAC timezone alignment ensures seamless collaboration.

A.With offshore development teams, you're not employing staff in New Zealand, so there's no requirement to pay KiwiSaver contributions. This immediately saves you 3% on employment costs. For a developer earning $100,000 NZD equivalent, you save $3,000 annually in KiwiSaver alone, plus additional savings on PAYE tax, ACC levies, and other employment expenses.

A.There are no PAYE tax obligations when working with offshore development teams through Global BrainForce. You're purchasing services, not employing staff, which eliminates the need for tax withholding, monthly reporting, and year-end reconciliation. This reduces administrative burden and compliance costs significantly.

A.Philippines is in GMT+8, which means only 4-5 hours difference with major New Zealand cities. Auckland (GMT+12/+13) has just 4-5 hours difference, making real-time collaboration possible. Morning meetings in New Zealand align with afternoon in Philippines, enabling daily standups, code reviews, and collaborative development sessions without the communication delays typical of other offshore locations.

A.Yes, offshore development services are generally 100% tax deductible as a business expense under New Zealand tax law. Unlike employee costs which have various compliance requirements, service contracts with offshore providers are straightforward business expenses. This provides an effective 28% cost reduction through corporate tax benefits, further enhancing your savings.

A.No ACC levies are required for offshore development teams as they're not employees working in New Zealand. ACC obligations only apply to New Zealand-based employees. This eliminates both the levy costs and administrative burden of ACC compliance, providing additional cost savings and reduced regulatory complexity.

A.We can deploy AI-enhanced development teams for New Zealand businesses within 2-4 weeks, significantly faster than local hiring which typically takes 3-6 months. Our New Zealand-specific onboarding process includes timezone alignment setup, New Zealand business hours coordination, and integration with your existing workflows.

Your developers work as part of your team while we handle all administrative and operational aspects, delivering 60-70% cost savings compared to New Zealand local hiring, plus KiwiSaver and PAYE tax benefits.

A.New Zealand businesses outsource to the Philippines because of APAC timezone alignment (4-5 hours vs 8-12 hours for other regions), strong English proficiency (3rd globally), cultural alignment with Western business practices, government support for IT outsourcing, 1.82M skilled IT professionals, and cost-effectiveness. The Philippines offers the perfect balance of quality, cost, and proximity for New Zealand companies.

A.Philippines developers for New Zealand startups offer rapid deployment (2-4 weeks), flexible scaling, MVP-focused development, and startup-friendly rates ($2,000-8,000/month NZD vs $9,000-14,000/month New Zealand). With APAC timezone alignment, KiwiSaver savings, and 100% tax deductibility, startups can scale faster and more cost-effectively than with local New Zealand hiring or other offshore locations.
