Developing property is a very rewarding exercise, but there is a lot to consider and understand if you are going to get it right.
Not only do you need to identify if a site can physically be developed, what you are legally permitted to do with it, and whether it is financially viable, you need to understand the tax involved. I get many questions from clients about how development taxes work because it is a complex area, so I decided to write an e-book to provide some explanation.
This e-book covers some commonly asked questions and is a guide to help you identify the taxes that may apply to your situation. But that’s all it is – a guide. You should always seek expert professional advice about development tax, as there are many permutations, exceptions, and little-known areas of tax law that may apply.
The Property Development and Tax e-book is free for you to download - click here.
If you have any questions around development tax, please contact the team at GRA – we would be very happy to help you.
Although I have not read the book cover to cover as of yet, Matt’s new book is absolute ‘top shelf’ material which without hesitation I would arguably put ahead of a few other well known authors that I have held in high regard for many years due to the fact of not finding anyone to surpass them – now I have. The book shows thorough research on a range of topics with clear concise kiwi examples. The books title does not do it justice – heres hoping a ‘property 201’ book is in the pipeline… - Bernard - October 2015
