Financial Adviser, Director from adviceHQ

πŸ”Š Important Update from the IRD on Bright-line Property Rules πŸ”Š

Starting 1 July 2024, significant changes are coming to the bright-line property rule. Here's what you need to know:

πŸ—“οΈ Key Date to Remember:
βœ” From 1 July 2024, the bright-line property rule applies only if you sell a property within 2 years of purchasing it.

πŸ“… Selling Before 1 July 2024:
The current bright-line periods still apply:
βž– Properties bought between 29 March 2018 and 26 March 2021: Bright-line period is 5 years.
βž– Properties bought on or after 27 March 2021: Bright-line period is 5 years for qualifying new builds and 10 years for other residential properties.

🏑 Selling Your Main Home:
The bright-line property rule generally does not apply if you sell your main home. This remains unchanged, but the criteria are specific:
βž– More than 50% of the property's area must be used as your main home.
βž– The property must be used as your main home for more than 50% of the time you owned it.
βž– If you build on the land, the construction period does not count towards determining your usage for the main home exclusion.

πŸ”„ New Rollover Relief Rules for Associated Persons:
βœ” The rollover relief rules are extended to cover transactions between associated persons:
βœ” Includes associated companies, relatives (within 2 degrees of relationship), trusts and their beneficiaries, partners and partnerships, and look-through companies and their owners.
βœ” Both the transferor and transferee must be associated for 2 years before the transfer.
βœ” Rollover relief can be claimed once in any 2-year period.

For specific accounting or taxation advice, please contact your accountant.

Government targeted relief

Garth from Hillcrest

My sister is a Pensioner living in Wellsford. She has an appointment at North Shore Hospital tomorrow afternoon at 2.45pm. The 160km round trip would cost about $50 which is too expensive. Instead, she will be taking a free shuttle leaving from Wellsford at 8am tomorrow, so will have almost 6 hours wait at hospital . It is not only families with children who are struggling. I do understand that not everyone can be accommodated in the relief, but just saying.
