2008 media releases
Tax advice for property investors
12 March 2008
Inland Revenue has launched an information campaign to raise awareness of tax obligations amongst residential property investors.
A 24-page booklet entitled "Buying and Selling a Residential Property'' covers topics such as reasons for buying property, the family home, types of tax that might apply, and voluntary disclosures.
The Inland Revenue website has expanded to include specific property-taxation information, including a self-assessment questionnaire, case studies, and an online version of the booklet.
"We are providing people with information to ensure they are aware of their taxation obligations relating to residential property," said Assurance Manager Richard Philp.
"All this information is there to help people who are buying and selling property decide if they should be paying tax," said Mr Philp.
