The National Australia Bank has been placed on a trading halt in both New Zealand and Australia.
It is understood the halt relates to the pending release of a decision from the New Zealand High Court on a tax avoidance case involving tax and interest charges of more than $640 million.
The first of several cases involving similar structured finance arrangements, the case wound up in Wellington a month ago before Justice John Wild, with a new case based on similar issues now running in the High Court in Auckland.
Bank of New Zealand is a subsidiary of NAB, and the tax arrangements involved were only available to be exploited by foreign owned banks operating in New Zealand.
