Comments on: Your investments in the hands of politicians http://www.landlords.co.nz/blog/your-investments-in-the-hands-of-politicians A blog for New Zealand landlords and property investors Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:09:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lorraine Murch http://www.landlords.co.nz/blog/your-investments-in-the-hands-of-politicians/comment-page-1#comment-564 Lorraine Murch Wed, 29 Oct 2008 08:36:21 +0000 http://www.landlords.co.nz/blog/?p=88#comment-564 Lorraine says It will reduce the stock of rentals as investers will look elsewhere. Some may be snaped up as permanant housing but for those who cannot afford to buy and will be the most in need the rental price will be high. The goverment can'not possible afford to house all of these people and this would be polical suicide. My perdictions Lorraine says

"Should the rules around property change?" Refer US 1986 Tax Reform Act, Where tax laws were changed to stop speculation and tax evasion by highly paid self employed people and employees... If you've structured your investments properly you should have no problem, but if you own it personally, might be time to start thinking about getting some good professional advice if they do change the laws and transfer to another entity... just my two cents...

“Should the rules around property change?”

Refer US 1986 Tax Reform Act, Where tax laws were changed to stop speculation and tax evasion by highly paid self employed people and employees…

If you’ve structured your investments properly you should have no problem, but if you own it personally, might be time to start thinking about getting some good professional advice if they do change the laws and transfer to another entity…

just my two cents…

Surely this type of tax would make it less appealing to buy rentals which would leave a shortage of housing for renters. This would at some point force rents up wouldn't it and in turn the costs for a certain number of Kiwis. Interesting that both the Greens and Maori party advocate some sort of capital gains tax.
