My username has been a misnomer for the last three months, which means I don’t have to lodge my first NZ tax return for another nine months, but I’ve caught the last three months of the Aussie tax year.
Can anyone suggest a Sydney accountant who is cluey about NZ property investing and taxes?
thanks!

It’s true that rent money may be dead money, but massive interest repayments that leave you with nothing are pretty stone cold dead anyway! (particularly if the market is about to plateau or drop)

If we were to buy a property, the repayments would be double that and we wouldn’t even be able to afford a place like the one we’re in (guessing it’s worth close to $500,000).
We could possibly just manage such repayments but…[Read more]

I plan to invest overseas and if I had to take tenants over there to court without active assistance from the PM (ideally to stop the situation from occurring in the first place) I would be very unimpressed (and in major difficulty).…[Read more]

I just wish your sister was MY landlord :)

(and buy the next IPs in NZ so they don’t have to worry about CGT!)

There’s just one catch – you have to be a Kiwi. Knew there eventually had to be an upside to my heritage [:D]

At the risk of this being a really dumb question…
Why is the rule to divide the weekly rent by two and then multiply by 1000? Why not just multiply the rent by 500? I always get the same answer both…[Read more]
