Lunch & Learn - Property Tax Traps

Description

Join us for this timely Lunch & Learn session and hear from experienced Deloitte Tax Partners, Susan Wynne & Andrea Scatchard as they discuss topical issues around property and tax.
 
The tax rules applying to property have been a focus of the Government and Inland Revenue in recent years.  The bright-line test and the main home exclusion have been completely rewritten and residential properties are now subject to a complex set of tax rules.  GST matters are still causing problems for parties to land transactions as land may be treated as taxable, zero-rated or exempt for GST purposes.  This property tax update will provide an overview of the recent changes to the income tax rules applying to land, common GST issues to look out for, recent Inland Revenue developments, and upcoming law changes in this area.  Looking ahead there will be discussion on how the 2023 general election could impact property taxation.
