CA ANZ's New Zealand Tax Conference returns to Wellington on 19–20 November 2026, held in person and online, per the organiser's own conferences listing. The 30-year-plus annual event is run by Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand; a specific Wellington venue and the 2026 programme are not yet published.
Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ) will hold its New Zealand Tax Conference in Wellington on 19–20 November 2026, with an online attendance option. The dates and the Wellington location are listed on CA ANZ's own conferences page; a specific venue and the detailed 2026 programme had not been published at the time of writing.
The conference is run by Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, the professional body for chartered accountants across both countries. CA ANZ states the New Zealand Tax Conference has run for more than 30 years, making it one of the sector's longer-standing annual fixtures. The event rotates between main centres: CA ANZ records the 2024 conference in Wellington (21–22 November 2024) and the 2025 conference at Cordis Auckland (20–21 November 2025), with the 2026 edition returning to Wellington.
The conference is aimed at tax practitioners, chartered accountants and advisers working in New Zealand tax. Based on CA ANZ's description of the 2025 programme, the series covers domestic tax developments such as Inland Revenue matters, GST and fringe benefit tax. A specific 2026 agenda, session list and speaker line-up had not been released by CA ANZ as at 16 October 2026.
CA ANZ lists the 2026 event as "Wellington and Online" without yet naming a specific venue. As neutral context for planners: Wellington's central business district concentrates conference-capable hotels and function space within walking distance of each other and of Wellington Railway Station, and Wellington Airport sits roughly 20–30 minutes by road from the CBD, giving delegates short domestic transfers. Accommodation and any transport arrangements would depend on the venue CA ANZ confirms closer to the date.
As a 30-year-plus recurring professional-association conference that alternates between Auckland and Wellington, the New Zealand Tax Conference is a reliable annual association-sector booking for whichever host city lands it. Its November 2026 return to Wellington keeps a known, repeat business-events audience in the capital during the shoulder of the main conference season.
