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.
Salesh is the best CA I have ever met in New Zealand so far. Period! The reason that I had fired my previous accountants is that they are so cheap. And they offer cheap advice. You need good and solid advice that can make you more money in the long run. And Salesh is the man who can deliver real results for you. Cheers to your success, Kind Regards - George Guo - ANZ BANK Senior Personal Banker
