CGT Calculator

A Capital Gains Tax is taxation on capital gains from assets such as stocks, bonds, precious metals or most likely real estate. In New Zealand currently there is no general capital gains tax as yet as a blanket system, however, income tax can and may be charged on the profits from the sale of property and land that was acquired with the purpose of resale. You may be required to pay tax on the sale of your family home, investment property or rental property if the Inland Revenue Department considers you to have made the transition from residential investor to a dealer. Use this IRD property decision tree to see if you will have to pay capital gains tax. In 2019 the Labour Government is undergoing discussions of whether to introduce a CGT in New Zealand that may land in 2021.
