Introduction

The Income Tax Act 2007 (the Act) contains provisions that impose income tax on certain property transactions. Enforcing these tax rules on residents and non-residents alike can be difficult without a complete set of records being provided to Inland Revenue. To deal with these concerns, the government announced a package of measures as part of the 2015 Budget aimed at providing clearer rules for property investors, more useful information to Inland Revenue to help enforce the rules, and increased funding to investigate property tax compliance.

The three stages to the reform included:

  • New information requirements for land transfers;
  • A two-year bright-line test for residential land transactions; and
  • A residential land withholding tax (RLWT) on offshore persons.
These new rules, whilst primarily being tax reforms, will also assist in enforcing New Zealand’s anti-money laundering and countering financing of terrorism rules.
