Product Description

Learn about the issues that we are seeing in terms of the GST rules as they apply to land purchases and sales including recent changes and the IRD approach.

 

There are regularly changes to the GST rules as they relate to property, whether legislative or how the rules are applied by the IRD, which can make it hard to keep up.

 

In this webinar we will outline the rules and look at some of the issues that arise on a regular basis, as they relate to land purchases and sales.

 

In terms of land, whether you are a property developer, landlord, undertaking a small subdivision or renting out a room above a garage, the GST rules can have a significant impact on your bottom line. If you are an owner of property that is made available to an associate, care also needs to be taken to ensure that the GST rules are being applied correctly by both sides.

 

The session will provide discussion on the GST rules and how they might apply to those common scenarios, using practical examples including application of zero-rating, the nature of supplies and the application of the Taxable Activity Supply Election.

 

 

Upon satisfactory completion of this webinar, you will be able to:

 

  • articulate when your client must register for GST, in relation to their property activity
  • determine whether any sale or purchase will be zero-rated and what happens if things aren’t what they seem on the face of the Agreement
  • articulate when a client may be able to use the election not to treat a property sale as subject to GST
  • explain when and how the GST apportionment rules apply
  • discuss the impact of associated party transactions relating to property.

 

Duration: 1.00 CPD hour including Q&A
