Government introduces further measures to support businesses

The Government will be introducing legislation to make changes to the Companies Act to help companies facing insolvency due to Covid-19 to remain viable and keep New Zealanders in jobs. 

The temporary changes include:

  • Giving directors of companies facing significant liquidity problems because of Covid-19 a ‘safe harbour‘ from insolvency duties under the Companies Act;

  • enabling businesses affected by Covid-19 to place existing debts into hibernation until they are able to start trading normally again;

  • allowing the use of electronic signatures where necessary due to Covid-19 restrictions;

  • giving the Registrar of Companies the power to temporarily extend deadlines imposed on companies, incorporated societies, charitable trusts and other entities under legislation; and

  • giving temporary relief for entities that are unable to comply with requirements in their constitutions or rules because of Covid-19.
