   ...suitable for single-handed sailing back to New Zealand. The appellant was close to giving up on the endeavour but did ultimately, after a significant delay, find a suitable vessel. There were then unexpected problems with fitting out the vessel to offshore standards. One of those difficulties was that he had to change the registration of the vessel, and could not do so without meeting some survey requirements. That became very problematic because the only place where the work...

   ...victims of his rubber-stamping operation had no agreements, and had not undergone a client engagement process. It is implausible that Mr Levarko informed a staff member of the Authority that he was planning to provide immigration services to an offshore service provider who would then engage clients without complying with the Act, and he would sign off documents the unlicensed person completed.

   ...in New Zealand during that period. [40] A significant factor is the appellant’s claim in 2015 for the cost of his travel to and from New Zealand. It would of course be dishonest to claim a tax deduction for travel if it related to being offshore for a holiday. The claim could only be justified if the appellant resided outside New Zealand and had to travel here for business purposes. The appellant has been unable to explain the discrepancy. [41] We are satisfied the appellan...
