Where Investors Can Get Caught Out In The Bright Line Test – NZ's Capital Gains Tax | Ep. 354

In this episode, we discuss the bright-line test, which is New Zealand's version of a capital gains tax. While seemingly clear cut – sell a property (other than your own home) within 5 years and you'll be taxed – there are many fishhooks.  For instance, if you show a pattern of buying and flipping your own home then you will be taxed on those transactions. If you inherit a property with a sibling but purchase your siblings half, then any gains on the extra 50% of the property are taxable if you sell within 5 years ... and then there's tainting.  We also discuss our upcoming property investment webinar, where three real investors are going to share their stories and numbers.
