“Winning the Game means Understanding the Rules”
A lively, easy-to-read book on a vital topic for every
New Zealand property investor.
Author: Mark Withers
Updated second edition
Mark is my personal and business accountant and I still bought his book because even if you use a specialist property accountant, this book is still an essential read. You need to know that the advice you are receiving from your tax specialist is correct. You also need to have a good background in the subject so you are not just taking specialist advice in blind faith.
This book is a concise guide to essential information about tax and how to make sure you’re paying no more than you have to.
Accessible information, written in plain English with lots of practical examples, this updated edition of Property Tax covers the key issues of taxation affecting real estate investors in New Zealand.
Based on his ten years experience as an accountant and property investor, Mark Withers makes complex issues simple. He covers legal structures, GST, depreciation, rental yields, and what can and can’t be claimed. He shares his strategies for success as an investor and provides valuable hints for avoiding trouble with the IRD.
Read this book and expand your knowledge of:
- What you can claim
- Structures for ownership, including LAQC’s
- GST issues
- Depreciation
- When you should sell
- Implications of sale
- Successful investment strategies
- Boarders & Flatmates
- Holiday homes as investments
- Buying property in Australia
- Trading versus investing
- Taxable land transactions
- And much more…

I personally believe that its beneficial for New Zealands financial health, to place a Tax on investment properties. New Zealand as a country is “Fiscally Unbalanced”. Therefore, the National government are doing the right thing to align property tax policies, with the like of Australia and Canada to stimulate more liquidity into the coffers, and to correct the property market. This will prevent so many investors from milking the system.
Although, this Tax law wont apply if you own a holiday house. So its not all doom and gloom. Ill continue to enjoy more ski holidays from my bach in Springfield Canterbury, and still reap the rewards of capital gains as the region develops.
