About This Course

When the Bright-line rules were first introduced in 2015, they were said to be for speculators flipping property. As they have evolved, that has been shown to not be the case. We all know of cases where unsuspecting homeowners have been told by the IRD that they need to pay tax on the sale of their home.

Learn how that happens and what they could do differently. We will discuss the Bright-line rules, exemptions and exclusions to gain a better understanding on how they can apply when you least expect it and the outcome of that.

The Bright-line rules have been in force for a number of years, but there are complications and limitations on exemptions that can catch people out; for some for the better and for many others for the worse. This session will be a practical focused webinar that looks at a number of scenarios, many of which have outcomes you might not expect.
