One 14 March 2024, the government released draft legislation coming good on its promise to reduce the bright-line period to two years and repeal the interest limitation rules.
The highlights are as follows:
The above is a summary of where things stand at the moment. We are still working through the draft legislation in detail and would not be surprised if there are issues with the drafting due to the haste with which it has been produced.
The observations above reflect the intention of the new legislation per the accompanying commentary. Hopefully the finalised form of the legislation accurately reflects that, but we will be keeping an eye on it and will post any updates as they come to hand.
GRA's services are top notch. I took their property course online over COVID, and then I went to them for a second opinion on some property tax advice I'd received that didn't sound quite right to me. They set me right and saved me from a massive IRD bill. After that I moved over to them full-time. They've given me ongoing sound tax and asset planning advice, and I greatly appreciate and value my annual review meeting with my accountant. I can't speak more highly of GRA in looking out for my best interests.
