How to buy eCredits in New Zealand
Is ECS a good investment in New Zealand?
The eCredits Ecosystem is a decentralized, blockchain-based ecosystem with its own native,
usable cryptocurrency, called eCredits (ECS). According to the official website of eCredits, by
using the eCredits Blockchain, local and regional micro-ecosystems will be able to develop,
provide, and sell services and goods. This movement will be supported by the eCredits
ecosystem, which aims to provide a platform for this aim. These services are designed to aid
micro, small, and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs) in competing on an equal footing or even
surpassing larger market participants. As a result, local businesses will be able to connect with
their customers on a whole new and direct level. This will give local suppliers opportunities to
reward their customers by enabling them to earn discounts and bonuses through repeated
purchases. Since eCredits ecosystem is built on and powered by blockchain technology, which
is by its very nature decentralized and secure, it also supports diversity and incorporates social
values like equality into its functionality. With regard to making purchases from small businesses
and retailers, eCredits wants to become the method of choice for customers. The overall goal of
eCredits is to encourage local shopping, strengthen neighborhood communities, and promote
more environmentally friendly behaviors

Yes. According to the Tax Guidance information provided by The Inland Revenue Department
(IRD), In New Zealand, if you use cryptocurrency to purchase goods or services, it is considered
a barter transaction and is subject to goods and services tax (GST). The GST rules apply to the
value of the goods or services being provided, regardless of whether they are paid for in fiat
currency or cryptocurrency. This means that the same amount of GST is payable on a
cryptocurrency transaction as on a transaction conducted in fiat currency. It is the responsibility
of the seller to charge and collect the correct amount of GST on the sale of goods or services,
and to report and pay the GST to the Inland Revenue Department (IRD). The buyer is also
required to keep records of cryptocurrency transactions for tax purposes.

wallet. This means that only you have access to your assets and can store them.

inaccessible. This eWallet also allows users to connect with third party centralized or
decentralized applications or exchanges. Please note that in order to ensure your

personal and you may not share your credentials with anyone. You are solely
responsible for remembering, storing, and keeping your credentials in a secure location;
therefore, it is recommended to back up your information so that you can safely retrieve
