Reporting Income Tax on Rental Properties

The new ring-fencing rules apply to residential land - mainly residential rental properties. This includes overseas property held by a New Zealand tax resident.

The rules generally apply no matter how the property is held. The rules apply to property owned by you or a partnership, a look-through company, a trust, or a close company.

If you have a tailored tax code and rental income, the new ring-fencing rules may affect you.

Under interest deductibility rules and extension of the bright-line test, the government has released a document which defines a New Build and which properties will be exempted from the proposed new interest limitation rules and subject to a five-year bright-line test (rather than a ten-year test)

This month, the government released a detailed document to the decisions they made regarding those tax changes.
