April changes – upcoming webinars

The Minister of Revenue introduced the Taxation (Annual Rates for 2022-23, Platform Economy, and Remedial Matters) Bill (No 2) in September 2022. The Bill includes several proposed changes expected to take effect on or before 1 April 2023.

There are also some rate changes and residual items (introduced in 2021 and 2022), that come into effect in April 2023.

Major changes include:

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

• New rules for GST invoicing and record keeping.
• Changes to the apportionment and adjustment rules.
• Clarifications for business-to-business compulsory zero-rating of land rules.

Property

• A new build-to-rent exclusion from the interest limitation rules.
• Clarifications for several other residential property tax rules.

Trusts

• Increases to the thresholds that determine whether a trust or estate is required to file an income tax return.

Other tax products

• A new fringe benefit tax exemption for certain public transport fares.
• A 4-year time bar for student loans.

We will provide more information on these and other changes in our new webinar series that starts at the end of the month.
