Hi all,
I am new to commercial investment and is considering investing in commercial / retail properties.
I have a couple of questions and wondering if you would kindly provide some advise.
1. Looking at commercial properties and prices are excluding GST. Since I am not GST registered (not a company), is there anyway I don't have to pay GST?
2. If I have to pay GST (which I assume is the case) and not able to form a LAQC, when I sell this commercial property, the new buyer will need to again pay me amount + GST. Can I keep this GST amount or the GST amount need to goto IRD?
3. Does all transactions in commercial / retail buildings occur CGT? Regardless how many transactions we conduct? If that's the case, what percentage is CGT?
4. What are the key differences between investing into Commercial vs Residential properties? Other than GST/CGT/higher body corp fee? Would you please highlight some major differences?
thanks so much!
