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.
I would like to say thank you for the opportunity for allowing me to come to the property school at Gilligan Rowe + Associates. Im in my early stages of becoming a property investor in New Zealand and to able to come to the property school has enabled to me gain very valuable information and knowledge which will help me be successful in property investing. The property school itself is one like no other because there is so much value given and from experts that practise what they are teaching. This in property school was one of the main highlights because being able to meet experts through the property school was my first time and gave me more confidence in general about property investment. Having combined reading the books (Property 101, Tax structures 101) at home and attending property school, the breath of valuable information and knowledge I have attained is substantial. - Tesfalidet, December 2019
