Well you may not be smoking crack or selling babies on ebay, but you're a property investor, and very quickly no one's on your side.

You may or may not be completely up to date with the proposed changes that will likely pass into law in relation to 'ring fencing' of property losses. Will this be the straw that breaks the back of many newbie property investors? If losses incurred from property investment cannot offset other taxable income does it still make sense to grow wealth via property.

What about capital gains tax - yes, this is a thing in NZ but it's been branded 'the bright line test'. Previously 2 years this has also recently changed and should be factored in when buying your next property.

Tax specialist Karl Moreton from Lock & Partners joins host Darcy Ungaro to discuss and explore the impact of some of these [proposed] changes. Burying your head in the sand is not an option here if you currently hold, or are thinking of holding property.
